<p class="MsoNormal">Generally correct. The data is VERY resource-intensive to process and AFAIK that delay literally just reflects the processing time.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That being said, one challenge I'm having with the sites is the time stamps don't say which timezone they are in. I assume it is UTC but if that is the case then the data is at least a couple hours old on any of the sites I've found.
