  That's something you said already and to me is half wrong.
There is 2 timouts in the general model:
   - the one after which you deliver the event to the application (t)
   - in polling mode the time beween 2 checks (T)

 in the gam_poll mode:
   - t = 0, T = 1 second
 in dnotify mode:
   - t = 0, T is not used
 in inotify old code
   - t = 0, T is not used
 in inotify new code code
   - t = 100ms, T is not used

  To me the poll timeout, which is how often the ressource is polled is not
0 it is one second. Saying it's 0 second is misleading, everybody would expect
that to be continuous polling.
