The signalling is not the problem, the file change notification takes care of 
that pretty well.

The problem is not writing the data for every single change, since this would 
(a) be quite inefficient when a lot of changes happen and (b) currently 
triggers a reload in the Akonadi resource itself as well, potentially 
overwriting unsaved changes.

Since I wasn't able to test the latter issue sufficiently, I'd rather kept the 
writeback delay set to "1".
A couple of seconds might already be good enough, but the setting just allows 
minutes.

We could probably interpret "0" as "10 seconds", but I didn't want to do that 
so close to the release tagging.

However, the situation demonstrates nicely how much everyone will benefit from 
Akonadi :)

Cheers,
Kevin
