I know Jquery uses AJAX, but is there any negatives of using setInterval rather than the usual method of polling with AJAX?

EDIT: :P I now realize that setInterval is not a Jquery function, but that doesn't really change the question much.

What is the "usual method for polling" with AJAX if it isn't to use setInterval?
