Seems like a reasonable question.

Yes, switching from APR connector to another one certainly does
alleviate any issues you are experiencing by using the APR connector.
This isn't really a workaround. :)

On the other hand, a better "workaround" would be to set these values
appropriately for your environment. What's stopping you from setting the
pollTime to, as you suggest, 100000 microseconds? That isn't really a
workaround, either: it's proper configuration.

It's probably worth discussing what the defaults should be, but there's
a perfectly reasonable course of action for you at this point: change
the configuration.
