Is the underlying data updated in realtime?

One of the authors here. It can be used for realtime analysis. The data is updated using a parser program which performs incremental updates. Adding a single block is extremely rapid. Running this repeatedly (for instance using a cron job) will keep the data up to date. I'm planning on adding a daemon mode in the next version to simplify the process of live updates.
