I asked a question [Sharepoints use of the ads wwwhomepage attr][1] about 3 hours ago.  I came back to see if there was an answer.  I mean come on, thats the point right?  Impatience!

Anyway, I did not remember what I called the question, so I clicked on my name in the upper bar, went to my profile and list of Questions, and did not see it.  So doubting myself I went to Stack Overflow in case I posted it there.  No joy.

Finally searched on it here and found it.  I guess I am asking how often the update to profiles runs?  I know that the badge calculation takes measurable time (5 minutes or so) from experiments. (So many new Stack Exchange sites, I usually get two or three badges from each for the basic stuff, and the delay is pretty common and consistent).  But I had not noticed this lag before.  

Not saying it is a problem either, mostly curious what the update cycle looks like, since I used to think it was a query run each time.
