I think this issue is new (I don't think it use to do this), but if it
isn't and you working on it, I apologize.  There seems to be a delay
from the time that an item is updated and when it will appear in the
API feed (I've been trying to figurate out the exact amount, but it
seems to be less than five minutes).  This is problematic given that
that when you pull based updated-min you then store the value of
"updated" value returned with the results, it (the updated value) is
NOT delayed.  So to sum up:

* The items in the feed can be delayed
* but the value of updated is not delayed

The result of this combination, is that it is possible to miss items
if they are updated/created right before a pull.  My current work
around to this is to subtract five minutes from the last update before
placing it in updated-min.

Ideally, if the data is delayed in the API feed, the updated should
contain when the feed was updated NOT what the current time on the
server actually is.
