I'd expect the local value to be updated every minute and latest 
published to the collector every 5. This would imply that you can set 
policy (SUSPEND/CONTINUE/KILL/etc) based on the value and possibly get 
the 1 minute sampled date, not just the 5 minute samples.

Compare condor_status with condor_status -direct <machine> to check for 
sure.
