How often to wipe is a highly subjective thing, and unfortunately, we don't have the ability to declare a bias for the auto-wipers to make them more or less aggressive.
I think this is missing the point that many of us are making. It's not a case of thinking they should be wiping faster or slower, it's a case of it rains heavily and the windscreen is totally opaque for 20-30 seconds before it wipes. Unfortunately they just don't work at all for many of us.
I think perhaps they were designed for Californian rain and not the constant, mizzley, slastering stuff we get in the UK.
