Is there additional caching going on?

When I initially upgraded from 3.5.5 to 3.60 and now onto 3.6.1 - I've noticed some lag (up to 60+ minutes) on thread updates when I'm retrieving the latest threads into an external page using this code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<A href="http://forum.mysite.com/external.php?&type=js"></script">
<script type="text/javascript">
 <!--
  var max = 15;
  if(threads.length < max) max = threads.length;
  for(i = 0; i < max; i++)
   { 
    if (threads[i].title.length > 31)
  { threads[i].title = threads[i].title.substring(0, 31) + '...'; }
    document.writeln("<b><a href=\"http://forum.mysiste.com/showthread.php?t=" + threads[i].threadid + "\">" + threads[i].title + "</a></b> (" + threads[i].poster + ") <br />");
   }
 //-->
 </script>

Does my code need changing or is their a cron job (that I can change runtime interval) associated with the 'external.php' now in the 3.6 series of code?

Any details would be helpful in order to understand what has changed.

Thanks.

Yes, the threads are cached. You can change the interval in your
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> External Data Provider -> Cache Lifespan
