Hi,

I've developed, and will be releasing shortly, an Extension to Firefox that displays a users total/recent credits in the status bar.

However, I don't want to kill the SETI servers by over taxing them.

Currently, the Extension allows users to poll the simple stats page as frequently as every 30 minutes...but no faster. Is this OK, or should the minimum be even lower?

FYI: I'm using this URL
http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/show_user.php?userid=0000

Thanks.

-Chris
