Literature on effect of frequent switching on-off of air conditioner on compressor
My first question is, why are you asking about frequent cycling of the compressor. Do you have a problem with your A/C unit or some great idea you want to try? Frequent cycling of the compressor will drastically shorten it's life. If this is happening with your unit I would have a "hard start kit" installed on your unit along with a short cycle timer. Unless you know how to do this yourself, Call an HVAC person to have these items installed. When I installed HVAC systems I always priced these 2 items into the job and educated the customer as to why I installed them.
