Feedburner Request: Real-Time Feed Stats

Dear Google,

Recently I've been spending time analyzing nobosh feeds on Feedburner. 

As you know, Feedburner is a fantastic free service that allows publishers to host a cached version of a feed on Feedburner's servers. nobosh utilizes Feedburner as it greatly reduces the load on the nobosh servers. Anyhow, back to the point of the post. After Google purchased Feedburner, one of the first actions was to make all Feedburner services such as Feedburner Stats completely free (Thanks Google). Feedburner Stats is a nice analytics tools that allows publishers to view the following stats on a feed: subscribers, live hits,  items uses, and uncommon uses. 

For some reason, the Feed Stat service has a reporting delay, unlike Google Analytics. As a publisher, I'd love to be able to view feed's stats in real-time.
