Chad has proposed a scheme for controlling the refresh cycle based on min/max values and a delay factor, to better control the reload interval from the validUntil setting on a particular metadata source.
Ian also asked if the optimisations that prevent metadata from being downloaded when it has not changed (based on eTag and/or content dates) can be persisted across server restarts so that a full download need not always be performed when the server starts if the remote metadata has not changed.
