Look into the github trigger where pushes to a repo causes the webhook to hit the url for the job and it will check for changes and build. Thus no polling is involved.

The problem is with Jenkins' git plugin. When I configured it to poll a repository without limiting branches (the default configuration), one Jenkins thread would use 100% of a CPU for many minutes just to figure out what jobs to trigger. No git operations take anywhere close to that when using the native commands. -- Jonathan Rogers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
