Has anyone come across some network software which uses kqueue

lighttpd uses kqueue. Don't know how "different" it is.

Again its pretty simplistic - individual events are registered by
using kevent() calls; kevent() is then called to process all the
results.

I wonder how much of a boost there'd be between this model as the
'nicer' kevent model. Hm, I'll have to give it a shot and compare
numbers. Thanks.

If you do this comparison for lighttpd, I would be interested in
the results.
