Is FSEvents more efficient than polling?

There is a library I'm using that is reading a list of files every 0.5
seconds and watching for the last-modified attribute to change.

Is this less efficient than using FSEvents? If so, how? For example, will
it weak down the HDD or SSD faster? Run the battery of my laptop out
sooner? Some other way?

Thanks.

-Steven
