         - support POE as "backend" (with some caveats, POE is not generic
           enough, and darn slow).
         - support Wx and Prima through POE.
-        - optimise perl backend a bit (less memory).
+        - optimise perl backend to use 20% less memory and to be roughly
+          2-3 times faster in the common case of sparsely-active file
+          descriptors. It can now compete with select/poll-based C event
+          loops in most cases (it is usually faster than Event and Glib :).
         - roughly cut EV memory use in half and icrease its speed by 30%,
           by removing undocumented functionality.
