The logic behind this is that at higher populations, byond ends up needing to do more at the end of the tick to update clients, that the mc and traditional sleep timers end up fighting for a very small amount of time left.
Increasing the MC's sleep time means its wakes up sooner in the tick. So it has more time to do things, even if they don't happen as often, and leaving every other tick free allows for sleeping CHECK_TICK task to wake up without finding the MC left them very little time to do things.
Admins have been regularly manually doing this by varediting the processing variable to 2, that i figured we should automate it.
for /tg/, i plan on raising the player count a bit, but they make decent defaults for the avg server.
