If we can make it do *just* the docs, we can certainly run it a bit
more often. But we don't want to make it run the full set of checks
more or less continously, since the machine is shared with a number of
other tasks...

I don't think 5 minutes is anywhere near necessary even for the docs,
but there is a lot of room between 5 minutes and 4 hours, so we can
definitely shorten it.
