It is my understanding that the net effect is the same as in the past. In the past a players ratings may change by say 12 points at 4 months. Now it will change 3 points a month or 12 points in 4 months.
The setting itself determines how big a rating change there will be in that 4 month (or whatever period the engine uses) period but it will be broken down to smaller increments but more frequent. It is to make the change more smoother instead of a sudden big change.
At least that is my understanding.
