Several tournaments like on 888poker have different types of time intervals for blinds increase, ranging 3 mins to 12 mins.
What do you think is logic behind this??
What should we prefer to play??
Some times when you do not get good hands in long durations say 10 minutes blind increase game, It just make u annoyed??
Few games where players involvement are huge like 5000 live ur dream tourney with blind increase duration 3minutes adds lot of frenziness as chip stack is only 3000,and if u do not get goof hands or u just fold for 3-4 rounds. U are almosed eradicated from the game..LOL.

So, pals what are ur opinions about it? Though longer the duration is higher the Patience is required as per player skills..

the more the blinds, the more Range of hands, and the more aggressive you need to be able to play to win in such tournaments. I think most optimal is 8 minutes and 10.

Theyre just different formats of tournaments. You should be aware of the structure before you register.
Some people don't like a long grind with a long structure (15min plus blinds) and just want to gamble and play loose so may look to play a hyper turbo format (3min levels)

well it all depends on personal preference. I choose 8 and 10 minutes, there are people who play more aggressive and they choose 5 minutes

10 minute level blind with 60 minutes late reg as you would have adequate time to play properly.
