65 | This module is very fast and scalable. It is actually so fast that you |
|
|
66 | can use it through the AnyEvent module, stay portable to other event |
|
|
67 | loops (if you don't rely on any watcher types not available through it) |
|
|
68 | and still be faster than with any other event loop currently supported |
