This is a good point, I'm glad you brought it up.
I would suggest dumping that lower limit to 6 minutes since that is pretty much the lowest turn around rate for matches. (That is what FRCFeed's caching was set to before Google App Engine popped out of preview and it would have started costing me too much to run it there)
