Meanwhile on practiceal side:
via epia kevent/epoll/threadlet:

client: ab -c500 -n5000 $url

kevent:		849.72
epoll:		538.16
threadlet:
 gcc ./evserver_epoll_threadlet.c -o ./evserver_epoll_threadlet
 In file included from ./evserver_epoll_threadlet.c:30:
 ./threadlet.h: In function âthreadlet_execâ:
 ./threadlet.h:46: error: can't find a register in class âGENERAL_REGSâ
 while reloading âasmâ

That particular asm optimization fails to compile.
