I haven't heard any complaint about it, so it looks like those delays
rarely if ever occur. And I believe machines are getting faster more
quickly than manuals are getting larger, so I don't expect reports to
become much more frequent in the future.
OTOH, such caching might be necessary for Drew's breadcrumbs (a small
delay is fine for `T' but is problematic if it occurs at every page).

The refresh should be 100% automatic by recording the timestamps of
the files.
