The first thing I would look at is whether the software stack on your web server includes some sort of table cache which is being invalidated by each update.
I have not had access to the web server yet, the owner works on it with the developer but knowledge is limited there and this was setup years ago. I can see if I can get access or ask the developer but this might not happen. I'm told it might be using ODBC to connect, I'm not familiar with Windows, I'm a linux admin. I'll look up table caching and see if we can find it there.
