Perhaps worse for double-caching.

 Might there not be a a 'worst case' situation wherein it was
*always* 29 seconds + local cache-age stale? i.e max 59 seconds, not 30

or on-average 15 seconds + local-cache-age stale, i.e. on average
30 seconds stale, not 15...

Though neither situation is new or lacking in workarounds...
