Well, you are downloading the software, compiling it, running the
Scribble files, indexing the Scribble files, rendering the Scribble
files, and re-building your entire Help Desk index to include links to
the Scribble files, as well as re-rendering your main Help Desk and
search pages.

So, it's unfortunate that it takes so long, but installing Planet
packages entails a lot of work these days.
