That's alright, I was not actually worried about slow dump generation.
What I noticed was that the dumps are available online many hours before
they appear on Labs. I would like to use the central dump on labs
instead of downloading my own copy each time, but right now this delays
dump processing further. I was wondering who is providing the central
entity dumps on labs.

Adam, Marius: Do either of you know why there is this delay and if there is anything we can do about it?

Cheers
