Neither do I. I know that MS folks told my team to add support for
"overlapped I/O" to get decent performance from Polygraph on W2K.
According to MS, performance using select/poll will be noticeably
worse.

"Overlapped I/O" is a "Windows Sockets 2" feature. They are different
from poll/select primitives. I do not know what Windows versions
support "Windows Sockets 2".
Alex.
P.S. The correct term is "overlapped I/O" not "overlapping I/Os".
Sorry about the typo.
