Yes, that's certainly true. But sigio happens much more often than
sigint.
I can only say that when I used to use sigio (the default back then)
with cmucl/sparc, I got strange failures far more often than using
fd-handler, which is what I use now.
In any case, I can't Lisp without Slime anymore. :-)
