Can you elaborate? I'm pretty new to JS/Node, so maybe I'm not seeing it. I recognize that the file reading isn't one-to-one with the notifications (i.e., many rapid file modifications will probably be processed in a single file read, and then following notifications won't have an effect until the file grows again), but I don't see that that's a problem -- the data should still get processed in a timely fashion.
On the other hand... my tests aren't running through successfully on two of three OSes, so there's certainly something not right... I'd appreciate any bugs or flaws you can point out.
