Sorry for the late reply. I was off the mailing list for one and a half month. Therefore I include a full quote.

I am writing my PhD thesis these days and therefore I do not have time for this blogging thing until November or January :-( Performance is no issue at all on *my* side. I plan to re-generate the whole blog every night using a cron job. But I do understand your concern when you need something which is updaten instantly.

I plan to scan each (or a defined subset) of my Org-mode files. > If not, I'd love to have a pointer to how you can accomplish this without > scanning every .org file. That would be cool. Sorry. But anyhow: whatever I hack, it will be on github [1] and everybody is free to fork and add a better performing real-time update mechanism. I also have a cool name for my project - be curious *g* 1. https://github.com/novoid/ -- Karl Voit
