[Mono-dev] Mono and ASP.NET vNext

[Greg Young]

So the one issue I have seen with the libevent implementation is that it
seems to perform very poorly in windows (+-5k hello worlds/second where as
its closer to 100k/second in linux). From researching libevent they
supposedly now use IOCP in windows and should be better but I have not been
able to make this happen. It may also be worth looking at libuv which is
pretty close to a drop in replacement for libevent as it seems to get much
better performance in windows and similar performance in linux. @Nikita I
will hopefully have some time next week and likely will send some more pull
requests in relation to the memory allocation patterns.
