"new" replies in a post are always incorrect

Whenver I log in, the "new" replies in a post are always incorrect when you are at the main page. You know, (42 posts 2 new). Is this something common? If it is, can it be easily fixed?

I think they are calculated every 15 minutes or something, so new comments since the last refresh are not counted. This would mean, of course, that they are not always incorrect - they are exactly right every 15 minutes ;-)
