Well, on the RSP720, the "show interface" byte counters are definitely not
every second, though I can't say it's been as long as 9 seconds. I
typically look at them while making changes and they definitely stand still
for a few seconds.

That is most certainly NOT true. The 'show interface' counters update at
least once a second. Perhaps you are thinking about the rate counters
that are often _configured_ to use the last 30 seconds of data to compute
the average but also update much more often than every 30 seconds (and
default to a 5 minute average).
