Update schedule

How often are updates posted to BlogRevolution?

Currently crawl cycles are taken once every 4 hours, and new updates are computed once every 3 hours.

The exact formulas and thresholds used for updates are something that I'm constantly tinkering with. Almost certainly this schedule is going to change, likely I'll make it so that updates are only sent after a crawl cycle is complete. Running extra updates in the middle of a cycle usually doesn't add much, and sometimes it completely messes up as was the case a few minutes ago when only one item was on the front page.
