You might try using /dev/poll instead of poll().
This ought to reduce the overhead substantially
on both Linux and Solaris.
See http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html#nb./dev/poll

Don't know why you're performing more poorly on Linux
than that other operating system, though. Maybe if you
posted more details... like which other operating system, etc.
