We could cache the result and only do an online check if it is older than e.g. 24 hours. Or have a service do the actual checking once per interval, and let LuCI just display the service's last result. A service has the advantage of making it easier to configure (interval, which kind of updates you are interested in, etc), and maybe even allow letting it update the motd so you also get notified about available updates when logging in via ssh.
