Default Av brief 5 minute radar

I notice that Av Brief now provide 5 minute radar updates on their
subscription site. I can only imagine that with so much free radar
available on the web they needed something extra to keep what customers
they have for radar.

My first thought was that we don't need it every 5 minutes, there are
not enough changes in that time. But as it roughly halves the average
delay between each radar sweep and being able to view it, that makes
it worthwhile.

I see the 8 hour half-hourly animations are still there but the 8 hour
15-minute animation is replaced by an 8 hour 5-minute animation, which
runs very smoothly if it's saved and replayed.
