I'd like to hope so.

Its only kqueue(). if linux had a real, stable, in kernel (ie not a damned
patch) replacement for kqueue() (read: real time signals aren't it)
then Linux would also be up there.

Well, the cool thing is that the code becomes easier to code for _AND_
faster. The tradeoff (there's always one) is that I'm exposing all
of the silly gremlins in the client/server code which seems to bite those
