Oh, simple. Just

(setq auto-revert-interval 0.1)

If you do that, it should be pretty rare to visit a file that has not been
auto-reverted yet. There couldn't possibly be a problem with stat'ing 1000
buffers 10 times per second, could there?


This is really disgusting. We should write a new editor that doesn't suck.
