"There are no servers that have an ATR of > 80%."
That's easy to test, and I'm damn positive you could find some that disprove your assertion.
More importantly though, you have this assertion:
"Using both poll and epoll has no advantage in performance."
Again, who knows, that's why I'm testing and trying out. That's the science part, since I've got no idea, but I'll give it a shot. And now that I've done an analysis that tells me what really matters, I'll be able to do very good tests for the different kinds of loads.
Incidentally, when people run performance tests against web servers to see how fast they serve files they're testing the server with an ATR at around 100%. Food for thought.
