that would be _very_ inefficient and can easily
flood file systems.

in general, it is difficult to modify input parameters, once
a calculation is started. you would have to re-initialize most
of the internal data structures. not very efficient.
before speculating any further, it might be helpful to learn
what the application would that that requires such an unusual
output frequency.
