Merge Replication Status

I'm using sp_replmonitorhelpmergesession to determine the status of
multiple push subscriptions.
When I set the Merge Agent to Slow Link, I get a status of 4 and the
message "No Data needed to be Merged" when there are no changes.
I'd like to get it to return the Status 4 when it's idle, but I want
to increase the polling interval from 60 to 180.
So I copy the Agent Profile "Slow Link" and alter the polling interval
and validation intervals only.
When I copy the slow Link Profile and use the copy, I get a Status of
3 and the message "Waiting xxx second(s) before polling for further
changes."
Where/how are these controlled?

Yes, but why does changing that alter the behavior of the Status and
messages?
