Excessive writes to database? about birdreader HOT 2 CLOSED

The call you link does indeed write every feed, every five minutes. That's probably a little excessive, but effectively the logic is this:

1. Grab all the feeds from the feed database
2. Spider all the feeds, calculating the timestamp of the most recent article for that feed
3. Write any new articles
4. Save the feeds back (with their latest timestamp)

It could be made more efficient (only write back feeds whose timestamp has changed); I guess I was just being lazy!

I'll do that work using this issue as a reminder.

Another thing to note, if you want to take some load of your machine, you can use a hosted CouchDB service like Cloudant. They offer a free tier and I find that my personal BirdReader installation doesn't incur any billings. Using a hosted CouchDB database takes all the load away!
