I was initially going to change the default thinning rate from 1 to 10, but decided against it because the suggested workflow is to run first in quick mode with nthin = 1, then to run in report mode with nthin = 10.
I did adjust the step parameter for the thinning box from 100 to 5, because that is more the scale I expect they would need to increase the thinning by.
I also added a bit of detail in the help file about the suggested thinning rates and expected run time (which I've also changed in the user guide in bisonpictools).
