Right, the statistics won't be updated until the cache for that page is not refreshed.

The work-around if you want those to be closer to real-time is:

1.  Cache for a smaller duration

2.  Refresh the cache with CTRL +F5

3.  Don't cache those pages at all

PageBlaster Pro will give you more options too. 

An exclusion like:

< PATH exclude From="All" pattern="view=topic" / >

keeps the statistics but all other pages are cached.
