Well, that feature summary is pretty superficial and completely useless to me and certainly to other folks that are more technical than the average IRC script kiddie.

I'd like URL to check this out and I'm also curious as to why no one has talked about it actively on linux-kernel when folks gripe about select()/poll() as and alternative method for listened to file descriptors.

He's right though, select()/poll() is pretty bogus. Using expensive "greater than" linear search structures pretty backward.
