Thanks for all of the responses to my simplistic query. I really wanted to know what others thought about this. Way back in the day when I was splitting my programming time between Unix, RT-11 and RSX-11, I was much frustrated with Unix not having asynchronous I/O at the application level. Then when Unix acquired it, it was buggy forever. Then we got multithreaded applications, to a first approximation that seemed good enough. The scalability issue makes sense.
