Comment (by azaozz):

 Yeah, long-polling would break the perception of pageloads as it "waits"
 in the same process for 10-15 sec. for something to change, polling the DB
 (or memcached) to detect that change.

 For example `apply_filters( 'wp_poll', array() )` cannot be used to do
 `get_option('...')` as once loaded, options are stored in the $alloptions
 global.
