I believe that what is wrong is that you misunderstand what it is
supposed to do.  Basically, setting this to nil is only going to make a
noticeable difference when a bunch og huge files are changing on disk
while you are trying to type.  My best guess is that you are not going
to enjoy it being nil in such a situation.

Do you still believe that it "does not work" after reading the
following expanded docstring?
