When I run SLIME there is a constant transmission of the message "Polling /tmp/slime ...

Is there a way to keep the polling but stop the constant minibuffer notifications?

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.)
