DPL should never be set to refresh constantly, that generates immense server load if it is performing the raw query on every single page load. In fact, I believe Wikia requires anyone using DPL to make use of the "allowcachedresults=true" parameter in all queries to reduce the server load, otherwise the servers would crumble from the load.

The cache can be updated using ?action=purge in the URL or by making use of the Null Edit Button script in your Common.js/global.js/community JS on your wiki.
