Its updated every 12 seconds.. in fact, that's where most of the lag comes from - the servers constantly blasting data at the map-making server (yes, its so intensive that it has its own server).
Think about that next time you ask for it on the home page!

Well then let's update it every 5 mins or so?

True, but that leaves the possiblity of the map frequently being horribly out of date. A good fleet can probably capture a system in under two hours. If they timed it right, they could begin capping right after the map reset and completely dupe everyone for the next couple of hours, until someone logs in. Five to ten minutes, however, seems like a good time between refreshes.
