Reading the sources I found that ShortTimeInterval is the default ms for the timer that is used by the control, in normal circunstances.

LongTimeInterval is the timer used when the user interacts with the control by clicking it.

Thanks lainz. I guess no real benefit would be gained by changing the defaults then.

Long time interval is indeed when the user starts to interact with the control by clicking on the up/down buttons. It is the delay before it repeats incrementing/decrementing the value. Short time interval is the delay after that between each increment. So it allows to simply click the button for one change, but if button is kept, it will then repeat the change. It is similar to how the keyboard repeats keys.
