  A bit further down the page, they cite Zapier "Over a representative time period, Zapier polled for changes 30 million times but only took action on 460,000 of those polls (1.5% efficient)."

    It's a Zapier project, so they're citing themselves. https://github.com/zapier/resthooks https://github.com/zapier/resthooks
