Whatever messengers are going through their chains that fast have their chain tension way to high. Which greatly accelerates the wearing process. I like to change my chain every 3-4 months, putting in at least 60 miles a days at work.

A little slack in the chain, with give your chain and drive train a lot of extra miles.
