Default Twist Rates

After reading more than my share of posts on here the twist rate factor still has me puzzled. Is the 1/30 one rotation every 30"s?
And if so does that mean a 24" barrel the sabot only is performing 3/4 rotation? If you are planning on shooting only a saboted bullet is a slow or fast rate better? I noticed the whites are faster than most with a 1/24. Does a twist rate have a matching load preference as in 1/26=120g. I googled it and never found a direct answer other than PRB's were mostly 1/60ish but that didn't help me.
