I had set the TTL on a list "6 seconds" on a 15,000 subscriber file 
which totally bogged down my system ;) Hehhehehe.

Perhaps the file include process could be improved upon by making the 
following modification:

TTL (when using file include) is the amount of time to check between 
modifications. If the modified time is different than it's last check, 
then update the list. Otherwise, leave it alone. I don't know how this 
would be handled (because the last updated timestamp would have to be 
held somewhere). Perhaps the .db file and the file included could be 
constructed so that they both have the same timestamp (when the cache 
(.db) is created).

With included lists on DB, the TTL makes sense (because that query 
really needs to be handled differently).

Unsure if I'm beating a dead horse (I'm still on 3.3.5) but figured I'd 
put this out there juuuust in case.
