magit-update-other-window-delay is a customizable variable defined in magit-base.el.

Value

0.2

Documentation

Delay before automatically updating the other window.

When moving around in certain buffers, then certain other buffers, which are being displayed in another window, may optionally be updated to display information about the section at point.

When holding down a key to move by more than just one section, then that would update that buffer for each section on the way. To prevent that, updating the revision buffer is delayed, and this option controls for how long. For optimal experience you might have to adjust this delay and/or the keyboard repeat rate and delay of your graphical environment or operating system.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in magit version 2.3.0.
