And can you explain where that "significant improvement" comes from? Are
you saying that tty layer / pseudo-terminal driver is somehow much more
efficient with kqeue(2) compared to select(2)/poll(2)? There is
something broken about it if so.
In any case without any numbers this discussion is pretty much pointless.
