 Actually that would cause BFSQ to happen more often. Since it's 
constantly updating the program info and those updates need to be considered
for scheduling purposes. I don't know off hand how often 
it triggers scheduling updates though. If it's more than every few minutes 
then I'd say something is wrong . It certainly should not occur every few 
seconds.

 How is that a cheap shot? Maybe my sarcasm meter is still broken :)

 If something is constantly triggering the BFSQ every few seconds
 you would certainly have some issues. You should gather some logs from 
the backend showing EIT updates and howoften the BFSQ is launching and
submit it to trac.
