Yes, they where. But you needed to wait to get all the pages, which wasn't a fast procedure. Around a minute or such, I can't remember.

It depended on the page. Clearly to have a complete cache you'd have to wait for everything to have come around, but common pages like contents or news headlines were transmitted more often than the others, so they entered the Fasttext cache more quickly.
