For example, http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/77637/yyyy-mm-dd-hhmm-vs-major-minor-revision[YYYY].[MM].[DD].[hh][mm] vs. [major].[minor].[revision]

In particular, I'm referring to a "burst" of answers submitted within a few minutes or so, when the question has just been asked within the hour and appeared on everyone's screen.

Normally, this is less likely to happen on questions which require thoughtful answers, because the time taken to prepare an answer will make it less likely for a "burst" to happen.

Should we shorten the time interval for checking "Another answer has been submitted, click to refresh" especially when answers are short?
