The RSS feeds are updated by the vb scheduler. Also, when the AboutToday page is loaded, a check is run. The question is really how busy is your forum. The scheduled task will only run if folks are visiting your site. If not, then the feeds are probably being updated when abouttoday.php is called. There's not much of a way to speed that up. Instead, you may need to increase the update time until the site has more hits.

If instead, your site does have a lot of traffic ... check each feed to make sure the url is still valid. A bad url could slow down the update process.
