Google App Engine Channel API Javascript Client: Set Poll Timer Manually

I am writing a web client that supports messages sent from a Google App Engine Java server, by using Google's official GAE Channel API Javascript client. I would like to know if it is possible for me to manually set the timer for the frequency of polls by my client to the server for new messages from a channel.

I wish to use a slower timer between client polls because I'm trying to debug the messages being returned to the client by using a browser inspection tool, such as Firefox's Firebug, and having lots of GET HTTP requests being sent out by the client's polls makes this difficult.

On production the client uses long polling (ie Comet). You shouldn't be seeing frequent polls. Unfortunately it behaves differently on the dev_appserver, which does constant polling.

Unfortunately that doesn't help you.

I'd recommend using Chrome/Chromium, it doesn't spew every XHR GET request.
