Very nice write-up. Little details such as this should make Mongrel2 very solid. It's nice to see how he analyzed the issues around poll and epoll and then figured out how to make use of both for optimum performance no matter what happens in production. Many other programs could benefit from this sort of analysis although at different levels... e.g. Sorted vectors may be better for smaller containers but hash tables better for larger containers, etc.
