This is not a problem in my program.. I need this delay. This is the
interval after which I send HTTP request. I can do so more
frequently(i.e. by having less delay); but that may send "too often"
requests to the server.. Actually for my application 15 seconds is a
reasonable time when no XML would exist on the server. I can think
about this issue later.

Unfortunately I cannot do this. The service is provided by a large
service provider. They cater to number of customers. I am one of them.
The customers have to pull data from the server. The service provider
cannot push events to my application. This behaviour cannot be
changed. They would have to redesign their system, which they will not
do.

its quite different domain.. But thats immaterial to this discussion.
