Comment (by dd32):

 Exactly my point, it means we can no longer use our API's, or would be
 required to write code that bypasses our own API's, or deliberately
 flushed the local cache every loop iteration.

 The last part (flushing local cache on loop iteration) would mostly take
 care of it actually, It would avoid the cache issues, and allow the poll
 to skip the time to load and parse WP files.[[BR]]
 I do however, think that it may be best left to a plugin for initial
 implementation, and us focus on a solution that reduces resource impact
 upon the server - !WordPress can use quite a bit of memory in a page load,
 and most shared servers might not like a few resource hungry processes
 running for 15x their normal lifespan.
