Meanwhile on practiceal side:
via epia kevent/epoll/threadlet:

client: ab -c500 -n5000 $url

kevent: 849.72
epoll: 538.16
threadlet:
gcc ./evserver_epoll_threadlet.c -o ./evserver_epoll_threadlet
In file included from ./evserver_epoll_threadlet.c:30:
./threadlet.h: In function ‘threadlet_exec’:
./threadlet.h:46: error: can't find a register in class ‘GENERAL_REGS’
while reloading ‘asm’

That particular asm optimization fails to compile.
