You can update a wiki instantly. Unless you are a committer, updating
the TODO list involves sending in a patch.
It should be added that the idea that the TODO list has much authority
has been decried in the past.

Wikis take a tiny bit of getting used to. But they are extremely useful
- they can be used like a kind of online notebook. I find it much easier
to make progress notes, reminders, etc in a wiki than in a notebook that
I forget to take with me half the time. And they are thus also a great
place to record progress.
Until you have used this, it seems strange. After you start it doesn't ;-)
