Isn't the load interval just the time period over which the input/output
rates are averaged for display purposes in the CLI?  Oh wait, it's cisco
counters, anything's possible.  But seriously, I'd be amazed if interface
load interval had any bearing at all on performance.

And for the original poster, defaults don't normally display in cisco
configs (since they're defaults, there's no need), so if load interval 30
was the default it wouldn't be displayed.  It's 5min on every cisco device
I've seen.
