When your USB KVM switch is on the bus, the polling rate is at the normal
value. The reduced polling rate only would apply when the bus has nothing
plugged into it.
I would, however point out that a whole second does seem awfully long
when you are waiting to find out if the device you just plugged in works,
quarter to half second intervals seems about right.
