The waveforms-per-second depends on the sample rate, the length of the
acquisition memory and the throughput of the display system. Another
thing that limits the refreshrate is the refreshrate of the display.
The latter can be circumvented by adding several swaps into one
signal.

That depends on the samplerate and the bandwidth. If the samplerate is
lower then the maximum bandwidth expect aliasing effects unless it is
a sampling oscilloscope.
