 Donald Knuth once wrote:

 I completely agree with him that further optimizations are possible to
 dynamically adjust the polling interval based on which phase we are in
 (slow start vs cong avoidance) and using SMSS and RTT from the TCP info
 struct. IMHO, those optimizations should come after we have the simpler
 version working and merged, assuming that the simpler version already
 improves the situation with tolerable overhead.
