But complicated information like statistics or information of 20 cameras,
needs time to be processed by the brain in order to react on it. There is therefor no need to have it refreshed in intervals that the brain cannot discern anyway. What could possibly be achieved with displaying information of 20 cameras at 60 FPS ? Nothing, unless you want to brag about your hardware.

I'm afraid that's... highly questionable. The more video streams (etc.) that are visible the smoother you want the overall presentation to be: the human brain is /very/ sensitive to small timing differences.

Yes. I don't argue with that.

In addition, there are standards for e.g. flashing indicators in safety-critical applications which are specified with much finer resolution than 100 mSec.

So a 10Hz update is totally out of the question these days: 100Hz would be more realistic.

I would be very interested to see experiments proving that this will make an actual difference in human operator efficiency.

If something is that time critical, I would not leave it to a human operator to 
begin with :)
