I've seen the AIO changes and they look promising, but I was wondering how much further things had progressed. I'm seriously examining the possibilty of running something like Cyclone from Highwind Software, for which threads are a requirement. Due to the I/O intensive nature of such a beast, the old pthreads stuff probably is not up to the challenge. Any recent developments? ...
