   Well, Eli suggested "sluggish" instead of the negatively connotated

   think that is misleading.  I'd suggest using something like "Thus,

I used:

Thus, it might take a while before Emacs responds to your input.

On the other hand. I kept the "More precisely" (in the second
sentence) which Eli suggested removing, because without it things did
just not seem to flow right.  Because the first sentence of a
docstring stands out on its own, it seemed no longer clear that we
were talking about the case where the option was nil, and the sentence
_is_ repeating what was already said in the first sentence, just in
more (I believe necessary) detail.

Maybe I installed somewhat too early, but, of course, changes can
still be made if there are objections.

  "When non-nil, user input temporarily interrupts Auto-Revert Mode.
More precisely, Auto-Revert Mode checks for user input after
handling each buffer and does not process any further buffers
\(until the next run of the timer) if user input is available.
When nil, Auto-Revert Mode checks files and reverts buffers,
with quitting disabled, without paying attention to user input.
Thus, it might take a while before Emacs responds to your input."

Sincerely,

Luc.
