**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.** Currently, when polling for work, the executor always waits 250 second in between receiving tasks. This means if the tasks themselves are small, it can be unproductive for a large percent of the time. We can track whether we received tasks in the last iterations to avoid sleeping. Also a slightly lower sleep time (e.g. 100ms) can help reduce the initial delay. **Describe the solution you'd like** Track whether we received tasks in the last iterations to avoid sleeping. **Describe alternatives you've considered** n/a **Additional context** n/a -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
