Frost could be greatly enhanced by polling more slots e.g. polling outboxes. Freemail polls outboxes already. Frost as you say polls every 45 minutes, but there are often large numbers of boards. And a lot of traffic is caused by requesting over and over again files which are not readily available. Also some nice apps like pseudo-streaming would be a lot easier. So all in all I believe this would be a significant improvement.
