The fact that the application isn't written as one large event loop. It's=
=20
a multi-threaded app. Since the work is done in the threads, to move to=20
anything where poll() (well kevent()) would be useful would mean adding=20
more thread context switches. We'd have to hand the transmission off from=
=20
the thread generating data to the one doing the poll, then had control=20
back to the worker thread when it's done.

Take care,
