Maybe something worth exploring, run it like an inverted generational garbage collector.

Separate the problematic domains and run them in a lower priority background crawl; then do the opposite as well, have a higher priority list for crawling sites that have regular updates more often, based on their last update gap.

Basically like a generational garbage collector but in this case it's generational content collector, although arguably, still mostly garbage.

Yeah there's definitely more that can be done in this regard. Right now I have fairly limited statistics on the rate of change of the domains. There's probably improvements to be made by making more informed choices based on that sort of data. Could likely adjust the crawling behavior based on historical change data.
