5 seconds is going to hammer your databases so hard that your server will slow to a crawl almost instantly. Every 5 seconds your web frontend has to query all the host/service information, format it for display in a web browser, and render it on the screen. Unless you have a massively overpowered machine with many many optimizations done for performance, this will not be practical. As for email, you are going to run into the same issue; 5 seconds is simply too fast for most situations.

Simply put, your server cannot finish grabbing all the host/service status info before you need to refresh again.
