The current implementation of rate limiting on the musicbrainz webservice is done by averaging; you can do 10 requests every 10 seconds. This means that one request per second is fine, but if an application wants to make just a couple of requests, it can do requests faster than that.

It would be nice if the libmusicbrainz-vala library could allow an application to send a couple requests in quick succession, but without allowing more than 10 requests per 10 seconds.
