Comment(by ioerror):

 I think it was Nick or Roger who I discussed this with at PETS. I forget,
 so I take responsibility for this - but if one of them would chime in, I'd
 appreciate it!

 My take is simple - we should add an option to check messages regularly.
 That option should take a window, randomly pick a time for that window and
 check the time in that window. So for example:

 new time window every ten minutes - check it at a random time inside that
 ten minute window, sometimes it will be instantly, sometimes it will be at
 the end of the ten minute window. That should ensure that you have at most
 checked messages every twenty minutes.

 Thoughts?
