In 9.0, every 100ms while streaming replication is active and connected.
5 seconds otherwise. In current git master branch, it's always 5 s.

Not without hacking the sources and compiling.
Although, on many platforms, Linux included I believe, sending a signal
to the startup process should wake it up from the sleep and make it
check the trigger file immediately. "pg_ctl reload" for example should
do it. So if ýou send a signal to the startup process immediately after
creating the trigger file, it should take notice sooner.

Yes. search for callers of CheckForStandbyTrigger() function.
