[edit]isn't true. Modules execute at the same time as templates do. I have no idea why this seems to be more responsive than the template version would be, but it's n not because of a fundamentally different loading paradigm. If I remember correctly then both the template and the module versions make some effort to adjust the cache time to match the frequency given, and maybe the template's version is broken and the module's isn't or something. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
