Desired IE feature: Set reload time interval for a favorite link

Memo to Microsoft IE developers: I frequently encounter web pages which don't automatically reload, but which I'd like to be automatically reloaded, like every 5 or 10 minutes. It seems like a browser such as IE could allow me set set a reload "override" for a link that I have in my Favorites list.

Also, I'd like to see the reload occur in the background. In other words, completely reload the page off-screen and then instantly bit-BLT the new image to the browser window. Have a little icon to show that a reload is in progress, but don't blank the screen/window wihile the reload is occurring.
