Are you meaning to suggest a different default value? I recognize that my choice of 1s is  arbitrary, and can change it if desired.
My thinking is that 1s is quite long to a computer, and shouldn't cause too much additional load. In addition, anything more than 2s or so is a pretty long time for a 21st century human to wait. So either 1 or 2 seconds should be the sweet spot.

Testing with initial interval of 5s yields 6.44s with my development test.
