In the configuration file you can tell it how many seconds to update.  By
default it is 60, I have mine set to 600 (5 minutes ) personally, but you can
set it to be up to 10 minutes.  (See the interval line).  Granted, that's not
going to do you that much good.  It says that if you update more than 10
minutes apart you won't appear in the list, but maybe your stats will still
count for the totals, I'm not sure.  I'll try and ask the author.
