Simply speaking, Esc frequency is to do with the amount of steps in the throttle range. Think of the old wiper speedos, they only had three steps, or three speeds if you like. New escs have hundreds of steps in the throttle range, but the amount of steps is adjustable. the lower the frequency, the less steps (thus a bigger jump in speed between these steps), the higher the frequency, the more steps (thus a smoother feeling throttle).

The other thing to be aware of is, the higher the frequency, the hotter the esc will run.
hope this helps
