   Under Solaris 7, when the number of idle sockets was decreased from
   10,000 to 100, the time to check for active sockets with poll()
   decreased by a factor of only 6.5. Shouldn't it be more like 100?
   Sounds like Solaris' poll implementation is horribly broken for the
   most common case.

I would like to ask everyone interested so deeply in this to read up
on /usr/include/sys/poll_impl.h from such a Solaris system to see what
their optimization actually is before continuing this discussion any
further, thanks :-)
