"Whenever this script detects that the import/ directory has changed,
or at intervals given by $ImportFreq (in seconds), it scans the
import/ directory to see if there are any new files to be imported."

Could you please explain how this works ?

How/when does the script detect that the import/ directory has changed
? Is it every time the recipe is launched, or every time the recipe is
launched AND the last check was performed more than $ImportFreq ago ?

If I want to have the files imported as soon as possible, is there a
drawback in setting $ImportFreq=1 knowing that pages are only imported
once ?

Thanks again.

Christophe
