It has already been documented very clearly that memory refresh counter has negligible impact on performance. It is however useful when used in conjuction with clock monitoring to monitor optimized SGRAM/SDRAM settings if you also apply them.

If you don't set memory refresh counter to some number other than the default value, clock monitoring will not be able to detect SDRAM/SGRAM timings reset.
