I was looking at this today and noticed that the things we are actually monitoring (if somebody is using an UPSTART_SESSION, which I understand most desktop environments to be doing) are all package related. Given that package operations are less frequent than crashes or things we were monitoring previous to the conversion to upstart session jobs, I'd say we could increase the poll interval significantly.
