Thanks Dan, I'll have to give this a try. I notice that your timer is going off every 10 minutes...how much data are you loading from the KML file? Is there much in the way of a noticeable flicker when you reload the layer (i.e. does all of the data completely disappear for a few seconds while the KML file is parsed and reloaded)?
I'd be looking to reload a layer containing between 20-100 text objects every 5 seconds or so and I'm not sure what the performance will be like under those conditions.
