It probably listens for a file added message for the pick up location, these are sent unconditionally by the OS/File System all a program has to do is to listen for the message - thats how Windows, OS/X etc work - message loops. Surely polling went out with 3270 - didn't it. If it actually polled then I reckon Kovid would have put a setting for 'how often" in the Auto Add Configuration
But that's all guess work - I haven't used the feature for a while.
