Quick update, I'm working on a solution to this. It's mostly done, the
delay is now just down to us living in different time zones. But the
server's still very slow so there could be another issue. Although,
that could also be due to the zipped pages that are still being served
on the beta site and for regression test results. I'm deliberately
breaking the beta site's documentation to see if that will help. I've
also changed a couple of links to go to a copy of boost on sourceforge
- although this is only a temporary measure, and still leaves a lot of
broken links.
