Servo refresh rate limit?

I use the PWM class to control servos through the Javelin stamp. I normally use a down time on the pulse of 2304 (what's suggested in the manual, ex. myPWM.update(173,2304) ). Today I tried changing it to 1000, in an attempt to get more performance from my servos. After running them for a few minutes, one of the servos burned up (more realistically, it melted and gave off a bad smell). Is this because of the higher refresh rate, or just fatigue from other causes?
I also didn't notice any difference in torque, except that the servos jittered louder/quicker when at rest. Is 1000 too quick a refresh rate?
