Hi Tomás, Sometime early this year, I saw a presentation about this feature being introduced into the kernel. The idea is that apps like top, samba, Konqueror can indicate an interest in a file/directory and then sleep. They would then be woken by a signal by the kernel when appropriate.
This would make the current inefficient polling method uneccessary. I don't know when this is going to make it into a release kernel, but if you're looking at a long term project it may be worth looking into.
