How long does it take until an event appears in SOUL?

If an event is being created externally via CalDAV, it might take up to 10 minutes until it is shown in SOUL.

Wenn ein Termin via CalDAV in einem externen Kalenderprogramm erstellt wird, kann es bis zu 10 Minuten dauern, dass dieser auch in SOUL angezeigt wird.

Any 10 minutes SOUL is checking, if there are any new events, which have been created or modified/deleted outside of SOUL.
