[Mono-dev] Mono and ASP.NET vNext

[Roope Kangas]

Hi,

On a tangent...

It would be really nice if something like libuv would the thing behind Socket code.

Could that be something to investigate?

Mono could basically piggyback on nodejs development.

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.
