Why sometimes a setting of Polling Interval = 60 does not always trigger subscriber to publisher updates every 60 seconds?

Hi,

We currently have a merge replication setup set at a High Volume Server To Server with an interval setting of 60. A lot of times, especially when we observe it first had with the replication monitor, it does not always update every minutes -- sometimes 2 minutes and sometimes even longer. This happens more when the updates are coming from the subscriber -- we did a test and make updates on both subscriber and publisher separately. The result is its often longer when the record change is coming from the subscriber.

Anyone can shed a light on what could be happening? Is there any way we can make it replicate much closer to 60 seconds?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Joseph
