You'll burn up all of your CPU and you probably still won't reach 1,000 updates a second. No one can read numbers that quickly, and your display will only update at (maybe) 60 frames a second anyway. I would suggest updating at 10 frames per second (quite fast enough for any human) and showing the average of the last 100 measurements. You could add a second and third label showing the minimum and maximum values in the last 5 seconds if you're keen not to miss any peaks. I would have a background thread to do the data capture and analysis, then have this thread signal the GUI to update 10 times a second.
