        How about incoming_idle_poll, and incoming_active_poll?

        Further, how about a floating value that moves between these two
values. Say move it up by .01 for every no-active timeout, and down by .01
for every time there's some action. (Of course then take the integer
component of that when working out when to next poll). That way if it's'
sitting busy at 2 (the default min) and we don't have activity for a brief
bit, then it slowly moves to the slower poll rate. That way the current
value could be printed out on some stats page to help users tune it
accordingly by watching where the value sits at. It's it's constantly
maxed or minned out, they then know what to adjust.

                Stew.
