It is pretty easy to adjust how often the updates are sent, but I would be very careful if you are trying to tune it at all. Position updates make up a large percentage of the total traffic being uploaded to clients from the server, so it can use up your bandwidth extremely fast. There is a rule for adjusting the zone wide updates, but you definitely don't want those coming in too fast as it would lag out the server quickly. Currently, anyone within a certain distance of you should get very frequent updates if they are close. If they are within a range of 50 from you, you get quite a few updates every second already.
