I searched high and low and found various answers regarding the stats update frequencies for FAH. I submitted the question to here http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=6114. I got a few answers that IMO didn't answer, then one of the mods (Ohairy1) answered but for me (you know how I can be) it was still not ABUNDANTLY CLEAR so I IM'd him. Here's the rest.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be thick here, honest I'm not. But are you saying that the stats are updated every hour?

Yes, Stanford's stats are updated every hour, and if you look at your User stats, here:
http://folding.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/userpage?name=nozero

you'll see this immediately under the banner, from left to right:

nozero Last updated: Fri Oct 31 18:06:31 PST 2003

So it was last updated at 18:06 = 6 PM Pacific Standard Time = 9 PM Eastern Standard, etc. As you can see, it was actually updated at six minutes and 31 seconds after the hour, so the next update will be approximately 19:06:31 PST give or take a couple minutes.

Now if the Stats server goes down, that time stamp on the user page will be frozen at the last hourly update that was made before the server went down.

Third party stats are a different matter. Most of them update their sites every three hours so they don't overload Stanford's servers. Thus if you were to check my stats now, at extremeoverclocking, you'd find they're being updated, because he updates at 00, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 00 hours, CST. His site takes anywhere from 10 mins to 45 mins to finish the update, because he presents a lot more statistics.
