I believe this was discussed already back in 2013, when I've contributed
gfilenotify.c. I cannot find the emails, likely there's something in the
archives.
What's the default must be decided by Stefan anyway, as the Emacs
maintainer. Personally, I can live with this 1sec delay of glib. And
glib is linked to Emacs also for other reasons, if not configured off.
Maybe it's better to discuss this on emacs-devel, but in this bug.
Best regards, Michael.
