No, the frequency at which the startd policy expression knobs (like 
KILL, PREEMPT, START, SUSPEND, etc) are evaluated is controlled by 
config knob POLLING_INTERVAL, and defaults 5 seconds.

FWIW, the polling frequency for the job periodic expressions (like 
periodic_hold, periodic_remove, etc) is not five minutes per se, but is 
controlled by config knobs PERIODIC_EXPR_INTERVAL, 
MAX_PERIODIC_EXPR_INTERVAL, and PERIODIC_EXPR_TIMESLICE.  Default rate 
starts  60 seconds, but this rate could be automatically reduced to 
protect schedd performance.
