I am aware of this problem. My goal was to create a very easy to use and intuitive API that would abstract away complexities that people are experiencing with asynchronous I/O. If you have an idea to extend the API in a simple way that would make better use of the capabilities of kqueue-like systems, please let me know. I know of people who use libevent in a commercial environment, and they are very happy with it. Greetings, Niels.
