The main advantage of FSEvents over polling was near-0 CPU usage when there were small number of changes to the directory being watched, while polling naturally always has some background job to do and its CPU usage heavily depends on refresh speed (like 25% with SENSITIVITY_HIGH and modest rate of changes).

It did. Neither usage or difference seemed significant.
