I use webchecker from http://mired.org:8080/webcheck/ (need Python 
installed, but given that could easily be run on either OSX or the Redhar 
server).

I use it from home over a slow-ish line; it seems slow to me, but have no 
idea how much of that is due to its performance and how much is due to the 
circumstances I use it in.

If no-one comes up with a really good answer, I'll probably have a go at 
converting this to Rev
