do you have to do that every time you join a server or just once and it saves it?

The procedure should consist of two steps.
1. pb_sleep 500
2. pb_writecfg

Step 2 makes the changes permanent, they're being saved and used everytime you start the game.

Reducing the number of punkbuster hard drive checks

Punkbuster scans your hard-drive for problems every 20 seconds. As you may have guessed, this causes a lot of lag. This process will increase the amount of time in between punkbuster checks to 500 seconds (the maximum). By the way, in case you were worried, this is 100% safe with punkbuster, and will NOT cause any problems with Punkbuster thinking you are a cheater. Punkbuster even recommends this on their website.

Step 1: Join any BF2 online server that is running punkbuster, preferably a ranked one.

Step 2: Once you are in, and respawned somewhere, press the ` key. This key is located on most keyboards above the tab key and to the left of the 1 key

Step 3: Once you have pressed this, a large white box should drop down with a load of text in it. Type “pb_sleep 500” (without the quotation marks) and hit the enter key

Step 4: Once you have done this, make sure the box is still up and type pb_writecfg to save your settings
