SLIME polls until it can connect.  Usually that takes only 1 or 2
seconds.  If everything needs to be recompiled it takes longer, but that
shouldn't be that often.  If SLIME polls constantly that probably means
that something went wrong during startup.

Use can use M-x slime-abort-connection to stop the polling. (But that's
also displayed in the echo area.)
