[mythtv-users] New Australian XMLTV grabber

[Zaakiy Siddiqui]

I'm afraid Jay is right.  We don't want D1 to start thinking unkindly
towards us.  

If you think about it, what's the need to speed it up (apart from
testing)?

Even if you elongate the process so it takes an hour, no harm done.  I
can understand though that at the developmental stage it's good to have
it fast, thus making it easier to test.

Thus septupling the load on the service provider.

Efficiency does not always mean effectiveness: users should careful
weigh whether the speed of an automated overnight process is *this*
important...
