117If you want to take avdantage of kqueue (which often works properly for
118sockets only) even though the default loop doesn't enable it, you can
119I<embed> a kqueue loop into the default loop: running the default loop
120will then also service the kqueue loop to some extent. See the example in
121the section about embed watchers for an example on how to achieve that.
