I think I have an explanation. The documents I'm accessing live in a Google Apps domain under myco.co.uk. Recently I got a browser message "unable to contact google.co.uk" when I was editing the spreadsheet. This leads me to believe that my spreadsheet "lives" in the UK. However all of the gdata apis work through a google.com url. Any googlers out there care to confirm that this would explain why it takes up to 2 hours for an update to show up in the API?
