According to the libev documentation, epoll has a higher overhead than select and poll. Zed Shaw recently confirmed these findings for epoll and poll. He states that poll tends to be faster than epoll as long as the active/total fd ratio is higher than 0.6. http://sheddingbikes.com/posts/1280829388.html He's playing with this idea called 'superpoll' in which he combines poll and epoll: poll would be used when the active/total fd ratio is higher than 0.6, epoll otherwise.
Might this be an interesting thing to implement in libev as well? _______________________________________________ libev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libev
