This is every two minutes...

As far as I know the server should update the metaserver _only_ when
it's state has changed (with a minimum delay of two minutes).
It seems this server is doing it as often as possible, probably also if
unnecessary.

I don't think the metaserver has blocking facilities yet for the UDP
updates from the server (except that it ignores servers if they update
too quickly -> might be a good starting point for writing some blocking
code).
