    HI uberdube ,

    #1. I think you only need to configure normally refresh on link entities.

    #2. As the document said, it seems like incremental refresh will work on original dataflow, so if you already setting incremental refresh on original dataflow, you not need to config this on link entities.

    #3. I think this refresh means to sync the last data from original dataflow and execute in query calculation steps on new records.
    According to your description, I think refresh time is spent query operations in that computed entity if any advanced or complex query formulas existed in it. (merge or combine query/reference other steps)

    In addition, you can also submit a support ticket to get further support form power bi team.
