Update Limit / Defer automation

Hi,
I would like to have a better understanding of those parameters "update limits (ms)" and "Defer Automation output".

- Update limits seems to sends value every X ms
But I don't get what does Defer

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

So if I checked the "defer automation" it sends the dial to the main thread instead of the schedule one ?

I´am not shure and can´t test it.
min.threadcheck seems not working anymore.

Same here
threading is an important aspect but it has a lot of complex relations betweens parameters.
the video gave me some new knowsledge about this

it feels more safe to do these things "manually" and switch between threads by [defer] and [pipe 0.]

then you can for example later decide to use another GUI object and things will still work...
