Here we go, another "feature" that I deem unnecessary. Let me explain why...
As I see it, it's in a similar vibe to Whatsapp or whatever which instantly informs you when something gets posted. While this is all good and stuff, there is a distinct difference between a forum and a chat, and that is the conversation speed. While chats happen almost impulsively, forums give you the chance to think about your reply first, do proper research if necessary, and write things down in a condensed matter. I don't actually know how things happen over at failbook but I strongly advocate against this "real time notification" thingummy simply because it enforces the "quantity over quality"-mantra. Overview is the compromise I've been willing to take but anything beyond that is overkill (see what I did there?) for LFE at its current stage.
The fact that it's taking forever to install does not really play a role in general but I don't wish to waste my time on something which may be marginally useful for 2 people.
Long story short: cost-benefit ratio, once again, does not work in our favor.
