Advantages In Mail With Respect To Mail Retrieval.

[Bali Cockfight]

What advantage does one have in Mail when one sets the preferences to retrieve your mail every one minute versus 15 minutes or every hour? I prefer to get my mail ASAP but am I conceding memory or CPU usage? I just can't see why I would select "Check for new mail: one hour" in my Mail preferences. Thank you.

Is this a trivial question?
