I think that we are trying to say that for the general purpose of a weather station there is absolutely no need to do gust readings at 1 second intervals.
Some time ago when I started with the WeatherDuino system, I did several experiments to try to determine what should be, or what could be the best interval to do wind gust readings.
Interestingly, I remenber that doing gust readings at intervals of 1 second always produced lower readings (also produced more flat graphics) than when the readings are done at intervals of 2 to 3 seconds.
Anyway, as Alan said, one thing is the "transmission" time another one is the "measurement" time. In the case of WeatherDuino, both are 3 seconds.
