It would have to check and load the info each time the Main Index is loaded. That can slow things down I imagine.
I am working on an Updated Pal Box for the next version of IIP which will Cache the info. (Thanks to JustDave!) Next step will be figuring out if we can have the bottom of the index page pull the cached info from IIP. That would be best for sure. Let IIP update it however often it does when it loads, and just have the Main Index use the info.
