The 'new' page is a spare resource, there's a limited number of people looking over it so if it is flooded with bursts of new posts then the ability to promote worthy news to the main page is damaged as the amount of time spent in the 'new' section decreases and you're not bringing new independent eye-balls to evaluate and upvote them.

There is a rule for dealing with this scarcity: don't bulk-post. Take your best guess for the most worthy news, post it and then respect the waiting period before you post again.
