Paradise & PT, a retched marriage

I'm so used to real-time stats updates that I get with Party & Crypto, I can't take it! I am using the e-mail HH function on Paradise, and have PT checking pop3 e-mail every X minutes. It seems so tedious. On top of that, the e-mails from Paradise don't arrive for a long time, and the PT auto-request HH feature doesn't seem to be working for Paradise.

What kind of optimal settings do people use with PT and paradise?
