I once heard that there is a source that permits one on Shavuot to wait between meat and dairy one level less than one’s usual custom throughout the year—in order to facilitate the eating of dairy on the chag. Thus, for example, if one normally waits 6 hours, then on Shavuot one only has to wait 3. And if one normally waits 3, then on Shavuot one only has to wait 1 hour. Is there any truth to this?

Rabbeinu Yerucham quotes Rashi that three hours is the time one should wait after meat. German Jews (“Yekkes”) generally adhere to this and do not wait six hours.
