Hi lisa, by default, I believe IE checks for updates every 24 hours, someone please correct me if i'm wrong. as far as slowing the machine down goes, that'll only happen if you allow attached files, for example, MP3 files to be automatically downloaded, otherwise, all that happens is an HTmL file containing the text of the RSS feed is pulled down to your machine, but I don't know where it gets saved, anyway, we're talking seconds to download one of those, so you shouldn't notice any performance hits.
If you need any more help, feel free to catch me on skype. my skype name is littleg93.
