Yepp, that's about it. So if you change Update=500 you'd double all UpdateRates.
And if you still have questions, yes.

But anyways, Why would it have a delay when I'm using the groups instead of a lot of bangs?

I honestly have no idea, if I had to guess it'd be how Rainmeter handles HideGroup versus HideMeter.
If it's enough of a concern, create a new topic in the Help or Bug section.

Use [!RainmeterRedraw] after the Group bangs, should update instantly regardless of the Update= value.

Instead of increasing the update rate and spamming those websites, you can alternatively just make the meters redraw when you mouseover. I use something like this for my weather skin. I don't need my weather updated every second (the weather may change without warning... but not that quickly) but I also don't want to wait a while for my mouseover functions to actually show up. Solution:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=!execute [!rainmetershowMetergroup Hover][!RainmeterRedraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!execute [!rainmeterhidemetergroup Hover][!RainmeterRedraw]
Edit: Totally missed the post above mine, but this is what Poiru was saying
