A client caches objects from a data set on a server. The client registers to receive notification of events that occur to cached objects. As events occur to cached objects, the client determines if a specified time interval has elapsed since the cached objects were last updated. If a specified time interval has elapsed, then the client updates the cached objects. If a specified time interval has not elapsed, then the client waits for the specified time to elapse, during which time additional updates to the objects on the server can occur.
