They also do not have to (cannot) be moved around during heap compaction. They also play nicely with OCaml standard I/O-channels, using vector I/O to send data buffered by the channel and in the bigstring in one system call. > - POLL and NODELAY in Linux_ext: that's very welcome. Note that we support epoll in the Linux extension library, i.e. this allows you to scale your applications to thousands of descriptors.
