Is there any specific time? Or is it to be done as and when necessary i.e. when the engine breaks down?
Major overhaul is more for cars that are above a certain age. like more than ten yrs as stated by JY. It is sort of restoring the engine back to it's orginal performance. For Eg, clearing up some major breath ways.
An overhaul done will actually helps to give that extra gains that is lost due to various factors... I recommend that you give it to your mechanic and he will advise you on the issue....
