Unless your application is different in every respect to normal applications, you're already doing craptons of read/write syscalls, some setsockopt syscalls, etc, so dropping your epoll syscalls by 1/2 will have a very small effect on performance. (At least on current hardware.) Adrian _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
