Cook and hold ovens

Have any of you used a cook and hold oven for breads?  I’ve read then manuals on a couple of these units where breads and pastries supposedly bake at say 275F for around twice the normal baking times.   These are basic breads nothing more than simple products you would use in a restaurant.   From my experience 275 F seems counterintuitive.
