From what I've been able to gather...
daily (1d) stats: average every 15 minutes
weekly (1w) stats: average every 2 hours
monthly (1m) stats: average every 8 hours
quarterly (3m) stats: average every 1 day
yearly (1y) stats: average every 4 days
This is probably for CPU utilization and other types of reports as well.
Cheers,
Richard
