Ditto on the "reviewers have lives too" comments.
I just got back from the Midwest Geobash and my review territory was very understanding of the 4 days I missed publishing new caches. Of course, it helps that most of them were there too!
Just a heads up to the OP. Respect is always appreciated with every contact to your reviewer, both publicly and through the "reviewer notes". And an additional "reviewer note" with an explanation about how you are going to maintain your cache will probably speed things up.
