Post From: Interplay Between Max Interval Delay and Chart Update Interval?

Does that 1,000ms setting override the global chart interval, so that all charts now update every 1,000ms?

No this is not the case and the documentation has been updated:
General Settings Window: Timer Management - Maximum Interval Delay in Milliseconds (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> Update Intervals)



Yes of course there is going to be a benefit, but unless you have a chart that is taking a long time to calculate, the benefit from increasing it more than a thousand milliseconds becomes less and less the higher it goes:
(Is there even much of a CPU saving benefit from using 10,000ms vs 1,000ms?)
