Sending BlackBerry Java Applications and updates to BlackBerry devices

So as a continuation on to yesterday's post with content from the Performance Benchmarking Guide ... here's a bit about Sending BlackBerry Java Applications and updates to BlackBerry devices. I posted previously about application push through software configuration and how it relates to the POLC log, but here it is from the source.
If you assign a software configuration that contains a BlackBerry® Java® Application to a user or group, change an existing software configuration, or change the settings for an application in a software configuration, the BlackBerry Policy Service sends the application data or updates to the BlackBerry devices that are associated with the software configuration. Sending application data or updates to BlackBerry devices occurs in four phases.
In the first phase, the BlackBerry Administration Service reconciles group relationships and potential conflicts between multiple software configurations to determine how the application data or updates are sent to BlackBerry devices and to determine the settings that are applied to the application. For example, if an application is specified as optional in one software configuration that is assigned to a user account, and the same application is specified as required in another software configuration that is assigned to the user account, the BlackBerry Administration Service uses predefined rules to determine that the application is required for the user account. The BlackBerry Administration Service creates jobs and job tasks to deliver application control policies and the application data or updates to BlackBerry devices.
In the second phase, the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server waits for a default period of 15 minutes before it sends the application control policies and application data or updates to BlackBerry devices. During this waiting period, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server does not create a performance impact on system resources.
In the third phase, after you assign or change a software configuration, the BlackBerry Policy Service sends the application control policies to the BlackBerry devices. The application control policies must be delivered to BlackBerry devices before the application data or updates. You can use the BlackBerry Administration Service or TraitTool.exe to configure throttling settings for application control policies.
In the fourth phase, the BlackBerry Policy Service delivers the application data or updates to the BlackBerry devices. Throttling does not occur during this phase. As a result, the amount of time that is required to send the application data or updates, and the amount of system resources that are used, depend on the hardware capacity of the system that hosts the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server components, as well as the number and size of the modules in the application data
or updates.
Still ... with BES 5.0 I still hate the lack of a "Deploy Applications" type function like we had with 4.1
