Cool point, BC, didn't know it was that bad!
Just did a bit of back-of-the-envelope math... your system would have to constantly write more than 11 MB of data every second for 8 hours each day, or about 5.5 GB for an 8-hour day, to use up the 600 TBW limit in 5 years (a total of 52,560,000 seconds of up-time). I take their figure of '10-20 GB per day' to mean 24-hours, which would equate to about 2.5-5 GB per 8-hour day. So yeah, if that info is correct, reducing that interval (if it hasn't already been patched by Google/Firefox) sounds like a very good precaution.
