The application processes via manual batch, scheduled batch, or in real-time. The more records you have, the longer a batch run will take. Lookup Helper settings can be scheduled to run as frequently as every hour, however, please keep in mind the processing time when creating a schedule. Schedules should not be more frequent than the processing time for the batch. Running in real-time means that whenever you create or update a child record, the Lookup Helper setting will process just for that record. There are real-time limitations for Group and Professional Editions, see below.
