Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-155:
--------------------------------------------

Marc,

I am very appreciative of the time and effort you have put into this patch. I 
understand it must be difficult for an IBM staffer to get permissions to 
contribute code developed internally to an open-source project. 

While I think the patch represents a feasible workaround, I have a number of 
concerns regarding the impact of the proposed changes on performance of the NIO 
transport. Firstly, reducing select interval to 1ms effectively makes I/O 
dispatch threads run in a tight loop this putting unnecessary high load on 
CPU(s). Secondly, I am concerned about over-synchronization in the 
IOSessionImpl.

A better approach to solving this problem would be a queuing mechanism for 
modifications of interest ops similar to that for new sessions. The main idea 
is to ensure that any changes to the interest ops take place on the I/O 
dispatch thread after the I/O select operation. That would eliminate the need 
for synchronization altogether.

Having said all that, I DO think the fix ought to be made where it is due, that 
is IBM JRE code.

PS: Could you please submit the patch in udiff format?
