Refresh rates

The refresh, or polling, rates listed in this section and throughout the book indicate the time
between the end of one polling period and the start of the next, and not how often the screen is

The Port Admin option displays the Port Admin tab.
The Port Details option displays read-only information about a port, without opening the Port

Refresh Now button is disabled for 6-8 seconds on every click.
Retrieval time increases when you are in a large fabric because there is more data to retrieve

Processor speed of the system you are using may slow down the refresh rate.
OS-Job Scheduling if you are using a host-system in the data center impacts the refresh rate.
JVM-Performance can contribute to causing interval differences between what is on-screen
and how long it is actually taking.
