Dave,
How do I adjust the loop time constant so that it is shorter??

They are linked, but I have a feeling that the loop time constant is not
clamped, even though the poll interval is. The aim is to always achieve
a certain level of oversampling. At the very least, the intent is to
vary the time constant and then choose a poll interval that is
appropriate for that.

The integral component should be retained. The effect of having too
long a loop time constant should be that the system fails to track clock
wander, so would be more vulnerable to temperature changes or forgetting
to disable power management of clock frequency.
