I read the documentation for setting up as CRON to run the PHP Scans on a schedule, but I didn't see mentioned what a reasonable interval would be for running those scans. 1 minute, one hour, one day? Since I don't have experience with this, I can't intuit what the best interval would be.

Run automatically once a day. Run manually before updating Joomla and/or your extensions.

Thanks, that is what I actually set it for while waiting for you to give me what your experience suggested was optimal. I made a luck guess.
