Yeah, I wasn't too concerned about the latency, since a save operation taking a little longer isn't so bad compared to a read operation. My concern would be more along the lines of sending a lot of pings unnecessarily. A smarter approach for most sites would be to call it daily (or at some interval) from a cron job. I'm fine with with taking that piece out of the documentation, though.
