Sounds like broken code.  While NIO can improve performance, it's certainly
not "critical" from the perspective of my long-running nodes.  My nodes'
load rarely went above 50%.

I work on a large Java codebase at my office containing a couple dozen
programs that have very important duty (in fact, one of them is a BGP4 peer
that is currently talking to some of the Internet backbone routing peer
points).  These apps do rather intensive network I/O without NIO, and yet
I've experienced zero "broken" I/O problems in this codebase.

: The issue has just been broached and you are already to take your ball and
: go home?

After getting *a complete brush-off* from Ian himself when I did indeed
offer to help (in a quite extensive context), why the hell not?  It's not as
if he gives a damn either.
