Hi Michael,

I just looked at the sources also, and the reason for the roughly 
5-second delays I've been observing is clear.  In gio/gpollfilemonitor.c 
we have the following:

#define POLL_TIME_SECS 5
[...]
schedule_poll_timeout (GPollFileMonitor* poll_monitor)
{
  poll_monitor->timeout = g_timeout_source_new_seconds (POLL_TIME_SECS);
[...]
}

So I guess there's no way to avoid using a value of 
file-notify--test-read-event-timeout bigger than 5.

Best regards,

Ken
