If it's offline too often, I'm skeptical that it would be useful. If you report breakage after a day, then it will be difficult to attribute this to a specific commit. It is most useful to have continuous integration if error reports are instantaneous.

Not only, but it's useful to have a stable set of buildbots, so that when a test fails, you know whether it's a new problem caused by a recent revision, or rather an already existing problem on this platform.
