I thought of that but I'm also thinking about the user experience.  In 
the daemon mode, users have no control over polling.  In the trigger 
mode, they will have an indirect control.  Also, it cuts down on 
bandwidth usage because there's no sampling around the clock.  On the 
other hand, it does smooth out filter load which is also a good thing.

hmmm.  obviously, I will need to experiment and since the daemon mode is 
"free", it's an easy test.
