How long does it take to propagate an edit with this? The previous PoC I saw (2+ years ago) worked from a static dump from the Kiwix project.

Author of this new PoC here. IPNS propagation is slow in the current implementation and it is a blocker for instant propagation irrespective of number of peers. In my discussion with IPFS developers, I was told that they are going to look into this issue in next versions.
