All,

I have learned from a highly placed source inside the company that due to
the resolution of the real-time clock (20 ms), the accuracy of each loading
calculation is as follows:

         BPC      Max. Error    Usefulness
  
         0.1 s     20.0 %       not very
         0.2 s     10.0 %       marginal
         0.5 s      4.0 %       OK
         1.0 s      2.0 %       OK
         2.0 s      1.0 %       OK

Thus, it is not that the STATION block does not work at faster BPCs, but
that the measurement accuracy degrades substantially when the BPC is less
than 0.5s (500ms).

Does this make sense?
