I uploaded a couple of pages onto my site and linked to them from the
homepage. At the time of upload, I didn't have title/meta tags on my
page (long story), and I went back and added title/meta tags about 3
hrs later. Google cached the version without title/meta tags, and
it's been about a week since and it still hasn't been updated in
Google.

Any guesses on how long it takes? It seems like Google's quick to
"realize" new pages are being uploaded, but slow to "realize" changes
on existing pages?

Thanks,

Depends a little on the site; if pages are regularly / frequently updated,
then you may get frequent spidering. If not, then not so likely.

Google-friendly sites also tend to do well without intervention.

If it matters a lot, then a Google site map may expedite matters.

But ultimately, Google decides how often they visit, and while you can
'invite' an extra visit, you cannot force them to do anything!

By now, the search engine should have followed the links and visited
the two pages. Sometimes it will display it's new findings immediately
(within hours) and then sometimes not, but ultimately will process the
new findings pretty darn quickly.

I would expect this to be influenced by the general frequency of
changes. Meaning that they will probably spider more often if a
page has a history of being updated often.

For a newly created page, I suspect that they have some middle
ground. It doesn't have any history of updates, but it isn't
years-old stale, either.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. It will come when it
comes.
