We dont really see any dips in server load, so waiting until night (or  
any time in particular) doesnt buy us anything.  I'm assuming you  
still agree with only fetching distfiles when they change, and we  
already have all the work done for this sort of post-commit job, so  
batching them just delays their availability.
