Since it appears that polling is meant to help out performance/scalability, would enabling polling in a system using kqueue possibly provide addition benefits than not use polling in a (SMP) system using kqueue?? Also, it appears that polling is just something that needs to be turned on. i.e. the application does not need to make API calls to take advantage of polling. Is this true?? thanks, ke han
