 #     -loginmesg "Message"  Client will display "Message" upon logging in
 #                         (no default, same as -l "Message" on commandline)
 #     -nodebug            Switch off debugging
-#     -client_polling     Disable server notifications.  This forces the 
-#                         clients to poll every 10 seconds for directory
-#                         updates.  Note, currently this is the only way to

+#     -client_polling     With this switch enabled, afpd won't advertise
+#                         that it is capable of server notifications, so that
+#                         connected clients poll the server every 10 seconds
+#                         to detect changes in opened server windows.
+#                         Note: Depending on the number of simultaneously
+#                         connected clients and the network's speed, this can
+#                         lead to a significant higher load on your network!
 #     -tickleval <number> Specify the tickle timeout interval (in seconds).
 #                         Note, this defaults to 30 seconds, and really 
 #                         shouldn't be changed.  If you want to control
