| One thing that concerns me though is the lack of a select() call or
| some type of async i/o in Plan9, so one could efficiently handle
| i/o on a large number of files/services without forking too many processes.
If that turns out to be a problem in real life, then I'd much
prefer to see rfork tuned, rather than just reintroduce old hacks.
| a select()-based approach is orders of magnitude better at throughput
| and maximum number of connections.
And yet people are constantly writing papers about how select() and poll()
are too inefficient, and proposing various other schemes.
