I think part of the reason I disliked this was that when you had stuff to do, you had a LOT to do. But when you didn't, you were doing one 5 second or so thing and then had to wait. I know you fixed the wait, but I believe if you had broken the collections down more, so that every day you could do a couple of the collections, people would have been a lot less irked by it. Instead, we went from one massive collection, to feeding only, to another massive collection. Breaking stuff down into smaller steps that were done every day, or removing all time gating would seem to be the best solution to me.
