GMplanet updates ALL sites within 1hr5m, Popular sites within 40m, with most of the time the new content appearing within 15m. This is done to keep from overwhelming sites that only post once or twice a week, where checking every 5 minutes would result in around two thousand requests a week, and a whopping 43MB (using GMblog RSS feed size as a guide) of transfer. So, we use various bits of logic to only make requests when absolutely needed. Robin Yeah, google does take a LONG time to ping our feed, but we are still a bit behind.
