let me refresh your recollection:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/25/116
where you said:
"But note, that on my athlon64 3500 test machine kevent is about 7900
requests per second compared to 4000+ epoll, so expect a challenge."
for a long time you made much fuss about how kevents is so much better
and how epoll cannot perform and scale as well (you said various
arguments why that is supposedly so), and some people bought into the
performance argument and advocated kevent due to its supposed
performance and scalability advantages - while now we are down to "epoll
and kevent are break-even"?
in my book that is way too much of a difference, it is (best-case) a way
too sloppy approach to something as fundamental as Linux's basic event
model and design, and it is also compounded by your continued "nothing
happened, really, lets move on" stance. Losing trust is easy, winning it
back is hard. Let me reuse a phrase of yours: "expect a challenge".
