Just a thought, but could this be done in some kind of 'adaptive' way? What I'm suggesting is that the extension would use the date tag of the contents of the feed to decide if the feed should be updated more or less frequently.

So for example, if the most recent entry in the feed was made 5 months ago, the feed obviously should be updated less often. Or perhaps it could be that it takes a sample of all the dates in the feed contents and decides from that how often the feed should be updated.

Food for thought.

This is something that has been on my radar for a long time, and adaptive updating is part of that. Hopefully, I'll have time to get it done soon.
