However with a smaller prediction interval you can dampen your autoscaling more. If you predict 20s into the future, react, and 20s later you see how that changed the situation you can afford to spin very few instances up and down each 20s. If you have to predict 5m into the future you might have to take much stronger actions because any effect is delayed by the 5m startup interval.
