It's not fair to compare a special test program running on a idle
socket, with a live running Squid. Squid blocks in both select() and
disk read(), and both read() and recvfrom() has work to do at most
times.

Here are results from test program similar to yours, running on a idle
Pentium 133, Linux 2.0.34pre11b. [test program attached]

select 16.2610 * 10^-6 s/call
poll 22.4199 * 10^-6 s/call
read 5.6728 * 10^-6 s/call
recvfrom 6.2537 * 10^-6 s/call
accept 23.6745 * 10^-6 s/call

It seems that poll() is emulated in libc on Linux. It is slower, and I
could not find it in the kernel sources.
