Honnestly, if you're using threads (I mean lots of threads, such as one per connection), I don't think that poll performance will be your worst ennemy. The first thing to do is to handle the task switching yourself either with a publicly available coroutine library or with one of your own.
Take a look here for more a comparison of several available methods :

epoll is compared to other methods with numbers here :
