I've personally used the old version /dev/epoll and it scales beautifully,
especially when combined with NAPIfied network drivers. In an internal
test application I was able to handle 60K sockets opened and over
12K active per second on a 1Ghz pentium III. This API is going to rocket
the performance of linux based TCP/IP servers through the ceiling.

Congrats to Davide for a job well done.
