 ### Adaptive Polling
 
-The daemon mode uses adaptive polling to balance responsiveness with efficiency:
+Superfreq includes a "sophisticated" (euphemism for complicated) adaptive
+polling system to try and maximize power efficiency
 
-- Increases polling frequency during system changes
-- Decreases polling frequency during stable periods
-- Reduces polling when on battery to save power
+- **Battery Discharge Analysis** - Automatically adjusts polling frequency based
+  on the battery discharge rate, reducing system activity when battery is
+  draining quickly
+- **System Activity Pattern Recognition** - Monitors CPU usage and temperature
+  patterns to identify system stability
+- **Dynamic Interval Calculation** - Uses multiple factors to determine optimal
+  polling intervals - up to 3x longer on battery with minimal user impact
+- **Idle Detection** - Significantly reduces polling frequency during extended
+  idle periods to minimize power consumption
+- **Gradual Transition** - Smooth transitions between polling rates to avoid
+  performance spikes
+- **Progressive Back-off** - Implements logarithmic back-off during idle periods
+  (1min -> 1.5x, 2min -> 2x, 4min -> 3x, 8min -> 4x, 16min -> 5x)
+- **Battery Discharge Protection** - Includes safeguards against measurement
+  noise to prevent erratic polling behavior
+
+When enabled, this intelligent polling system provides substantial power savings
+over conventional fixed-interval approaches, especially during low-activity or
+idle periods, while maintaining responsiveness when needed.
