Basically, as of now, when you touch an anime and it updates its AniDB info (importing, etc), then its relations, similar anime, etc all get updated.
The plan is to make the updating happen less often if the non-essential anime have not been updated recently on AniDB. For example, if a series hasn't changed in 2 years, then chances are, you don't need to pull the data for it very often.
The exact numbers will need to be worked out and tested, but I wanted to write this down before it's buried.
@Cazzar and I discussed this on discord.

This may help with bans in some cases
