According to Wikipedia, deviantART receives about 140,000 submissions a day.
If evenly distributed that's 5,333 submissions an hour or 97 a minute or about 1-1/2 per second. On my computer's monitor I see 24 thumbnails on a page. To see all the new submissions as they appear on the site's home page I'd have to refresh my screen once every 15 seconds or I'll miss some.
