For instance, the maximum number of fds usable by select() on Win32
(or other platforms) is low compared to the number of potential
connections needed by a high-throughput HTTP server.
Does libevent call the dispatcher multiple times on different sets of
events? How does the design of the
It avoids using select() unless there's absolutely no other choice, in
part because of the artificial limits of select() but mostly because
select() is inefficient for large numbers of monitored file descriptors.
Most of the point of libevent is that it's a generic wrapper around
OS-specific
Has there ever been any mention of using IOCP or something on Windows?

limit, which was mainly why I was asking.
Furthermore, does there appear to be any activity on this project
regarding Windows at all?
