I do have a productive suggestion though that we kicked around once or
twice. Spin up helper threads (we can even keep a cache of them) to
handle each group of 64 events, and have them pop an event to the
parent thread once finished. at 64x63 events, this could be quite
respectible.
How did you think to catch the threads?
Sharing them among multiple pollsets, or keeping them around per
pollset?
Keep in mind, as you consider new designs for apr_poll, that the
longest standing issue is polling on files. If you can solve both
issues in one whack, we would trip over each other getting your
patch committed :)
Well in that case it would be switch among WSA and Object events,
not a big deal actually ;).
I'll see if the thread caching will be appropriate.
