Well, there is more to it than that.

The problem with rapid updates is that someone who's on page 2, ends up going to different pages but seeing the same images as the system adds new images to the database (when new images are being displayed first, with oldest last). If we swap it around, and do old first, with new images being added at the end, we don't have the "page jump" problem, but then the first page is always the same.

I can run updates every minute, but then the images on the pages change too rapidly. Make sense?

The system tends to add 1500-1800 new images per day, we don't benefit much from doing updates more frequently than twice a day as that will not add more images into the system, just the times that they get added.
