For example, a select-based event loop (such as the pure perl one) can never compete with an event loop that uses epoll when the number of -file descriptors grows high. In this benchmark, only a single filehandle -is used (although some of the AnyEvent adaptors dup() its file descriptor -to worka round bugs). +file descriptors grows high. In this benchmark, all events become ready at +the same time, so select/poll-based implementations get an unnatural speed +boost. C is the sole leader regarding speed and memory use, which are both maximal/minimal, respectively. Even when going through AnyEvent, there are
