Comment:

 I agree with rtz - although it might be good to have a minimum delay it
 should certainly not be one hour - if there should be one at all, to grab
 all of the small changes done right after a post is published, it should
 only be a few minutes long.

 The hour that a ping is delayed now should instead be the minimum wait
 between two pings - but even then one hour is far too long - I think a
 minimum wait of 30 minutes is more appropriate.

 So - I suggest to change the functionality into: If a ping has been made
 in the last 30 minutes - wait until 30 minutes has passed since then
 before a ping is made. If not a ping has been made in the last 30 minutes
 schedule the ping to be made immediately or after a few minutes.

 (Btw - I'm not very used to the WordPress ticket system - perhaps a new
 ticket should be opened to fix this issue, but since it has already been
 talked about here I'm reopening this one instead - feel free to correct it
 if you feel it's wrong)
