    Evgeniy, i'm not sure how many different ways to tell this to you, but
    you are not listening, you are not learning and you are still not
    getting it at all.

    The scheduler /IS/ a generic work/event queue. And it's pretty damn
    fast. No amount of badmouthing will change that basic fact. Not exactly
    as fast as a special-purpose queueing system (for all the reasons i
    outlined to you, and which you ignored), but it gets pretty damn close
    even for the web workload /you/ identified, and offers a user-space
    programming model that is about 1000 times more useful than
    state-machines.
