When collecting RSS feeds, I recommend setting a limit so that each RSS source is pulled every 10 minutes.

That's a solid default. I actually set my RSS polling interval to 1 hour, most sources I follow don't update frequently enough to justify anything shorter. Every 10 minutes works too, but you might end up burning cycles on unchanged feeds.
