Oops, my mistake-- I'm told there's a limit of posts within 10 days. Hence the
re-ranking has to query all posts within 10 days (roughly 1000 posts at the
current level of traffic).
(That does admittedly make FAR more sense-- I always thought it was odd that it
did it for "all time", I had thought there was some clever bit of logic done
detecting spotlights beyond N days in the past or something)
