Forget the overhead -- how about the wrath this would induce from your
ISP? An admin would get a bit testy about polling more often than
every five minutes, and more than once a minute is easily grounds for
disabling an account. Once a second doesn't even give the system a
chance to write new mail into the mailbox, considering the check takes
more than a second.
