Oleg,

Does the stuff below sound interesting? Could it speed up the NIO implementation compared to blocking IO on Linux?

"Support for epoll

The Linux downloads of this update release include an implementation of java.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider that is based on the epoll I/O event notification facility. The epoll facility is available in the Linux 2.6 kernel, and is more scalable than the traditional poll system call. This epoll-based implementation may improve the performance of server applications that use the New I/O API and that register hundreds of channels with a selector. For more information, refer to the epoll(4) and poll(2) man pages.

The epoll-based implementation of SelectorProvider is not selected by default. To select it, specify a property value from the command line as follows:

java -Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.EPollSelectorProvider
