Perhaps this is just a matter of the statements coming from different perspectives. In an artificial benchmark of eventloops, under a microscrope, perhaps one is significantly faster than the other, but in any real-world practical application, your application code should dominate performance issues and a choice between two reasonable efficient eventloop implementations just doesn't have much practical impact. At that point your choice is really more about API preference, maintenance issues, portability issues, etc. _______________________________________________ libev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libev
