+EV by default uses select, which makes it hard to write efficient servers,
+especially if the number of active conencitons is much lower than the open
+ones. GNU/Linux systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which
+EV can use. For this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support
+epoll, but if you can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime,
+and EV will safely fall back to using select when epoll isn't available.
+If unsure, accept the default.
