I know some sensors/solutions don't like being queried too fast due to hardware/firmware constraints, but that's different than how frequently you write loop data out.
I guess my answer is I wouldn't write anything out unless the hardware emitted data you listen for (or alternately when you query the particular hardware for data). Not knowing what hardware you are trying to support nor what you're supporting I couldn't even guess on a number. Being needlessly crazy frequent would pound your weewx system and its disk accordingly which probably should be avoided.
