Ouch! That is part of the problem with Red Hat's free basic
entitlements for RHN. If many more users run up2date "every 15
minutes", RHN will be terribly busy all the time.

Apart from that, there is no point in running up2date so often,
because heavy load at RHN would kick a "free user" out of the
service any time even if you managed to connect and start
downloading packages.
