Isn't the polling interval set to 100 msec by the following line in 
gfilenotify.c?

  g_file_monitor_set_rate_limit (monitor, 100);

By the way, I tried removing that line and using the default polling 
interval, and it seemed (subjectively) to work better, i.e., the wait 
time for a `created' event in an interactive session appeared to be 2-3 
seconds instead of 5-6 seconds.  But this doesn't seem to be consistent 
enough to allow me to substantially reduce 
file-notify--test-read-event-timeout.

Best regards,

Ken
