Re: Clarification about auto-revert-mode and inotify

To me running this code 100 times per second sounds very expensive
CPU-wise.

I think that with inotify support, we should be able to handle
efficiently (i.e. with prompt refresh and with almost no CPU use when no
files are modified) a situation where the user enabled
global-auto-revert-mode with a 100 file buffers.
