If that is possible yes it would be better, however... the benefit of the timer is that you can limit the refresh time so that in case its a whole lot of data that effects a lot of geometry it may make it really slow? maybe it would be great to have both - like the file gets read as its updated but then you can run it through a timer-like component that can limit the incoming data to time intervals.
