Johnathan,
Thanks for running that test for me! I've added your results
(plus a cautionary note about microbenchmarks and a link to
your site) to http://www.kegel.com/dkftpbench/Poller_bench.html
If you haven't already, you might peek at the discussion on
linux-kernel. Linus seems to be on the verge of adding
something like kqueue() to Linux, but appears opposed to
supporting level-triggering; he likes the simplicity of
edge triggering (from the kernel's point of view!). See
http://boudicca.tux.org/hypermail/linux-kernel/2000week44/index.html#9
Thanks,
Dan
