No, you understand it just fine.  It looks to me like the original
code was written for DNS servers that got a lot less traffic than
modern ones do; if you get one query per second or less, the one second
patch makes no difference.

I've been using the one second patch for many years with no adverse
effect.  I've even thought of increasing it to a one minute patch but
my data.cdb isn't all that large so it wouldn't make much difference.
