Biggest downside to decreasing the interval is the increase in database size for no real gain in accuracy. I have my interval set at 2 minutes and I am thinking about thinning out some of the historical data because the database is 140MB and goes up by about 4mb a month.
There is a real time extension that operates as fast as the data comes in, so if you're looking at wind speed/direction, you can get that.
