Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/issues/703

Describe the bug
I have a config for my G75VW laptop that correctly reads and writes the values for my fans. No matter what the EC Poll Interval value is, the values only update every 2500ms.

To Reproduce
Start NBFC and load the config matching your laptop.
Set the EC Poll Interval to 500ms.
Watch the values, which only update once every 2.5 seconds

Expected behavior
The Temperature and Fan speed readings to update at the rate I set in the EC Poll Interval.

System information
Windows 8
NBFC 1.6.3
NbfcService.zip

Additional context
Apps like Coretemp and MSI Afterburner read and update values rapidly, but I'm assuming they use different methods, so I'm not sure if there's another limiting factor taking place.

The poll interval defines at which rate the NBFC service polls/updates the EC.
It doesn't affect at which interval the Windows client (GUI) is updated. Currently the client update interval is 3 seconds and cannot be changed.
