I think that reasonableness needs to be decided by overseers.

However, before I go to see overseers I'd like to know exactly how
often the CI system pulls and how we might reduce that.

So for summary:
- It pulls ever 5-15 minutes.
- At present no steps are being taken to reduce the pulls in a given day.

Is that correct?

Cheers,
Carlos.
