ok ok. so in the end, how helpful is this thing? anyone who has it...how often do you empty it out (meaning, how qcuickly does it fill up) and what stage of tune is your car in?

The catch can intercepts this mess on its way to the intake manifold and catches the liquids. The vapors will still be drawn into the engine, but the oil wont. That's why you have to empty the catch cans on occasion.
If you don't want any vapors to enter the engine, you just vent the line to atmosphere with a filter and plug the hole in the manifold.

How often do you have to empty the catch cans? Is it an easy task? Can it be down along side with an simple oil change?
