[Piwik-hackers] Compliments.. and little suggestion

[Matthieu Aubry]

Hi Ezio,
in last version this setting is set to 20 seconds, which means that you 
would only have to wait 20 seconds to get your first reports.

but if you "wget" some pages from your website, that would def not work 
as only visitors with javascript are counted.
