[Magpierss-general] Re: Cron job & Magpie

[Russ J. <rus...@gm...>]

On my site, all of the viewable pages have the MAGPIE_CACHE_AGE set to
60 minutes. but the cron job runs in the background every 55 minutes.
Since magpie always checks the cache before refetching the feed when
you call fetch_rss($url), the bloggers that visit will always pull the
cached version of the feed and therefore the page loads very quickly.
