+libev is a high-performance event loop/event model with lots of features.
+(see benchmark at http://libev.schmorp.de/bench.html)

+
+ABOUT
+
+ Homepage: http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev
+ Mailinglist: libev@lists.schmorp.de
+ http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libev
+ Library Documentation: http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod
+
+ Libev is modelled (very losely) after libevent and the Event perl
+ module, but is faster, scales better and is more correct, and also more
+ featureful. And also smaller. Yay.
+
+ Some of the specialties of libev not commonly found elsewhere are:
+
+ - extensive and detailed, readable documentation (not doxygen garbage).
+ - fully supports fork, can detect fork in various ways and automatically
+ re-arms kernel mechanisms that do not support fork.
+ - highly optimised select, poll, epoll, kqueue and event ports backends.
+ - filesystem object (path) watching (with optional linux inotify support).
+ - wallclock-based times (using absolute time, cron-like).
+ - relative timers/timeouts (handle time jumps).
+ - fast intra-thread communication between multiple
+ event loops (with optional fast linux eventfd backend).
+ - extremely easy to embed (fully documented, no dependencies,
+ autoconf supported but optional).
+ - very small codebase, no bloated library, simple code.
+ - fully extensible by being able to plug into the event loop,
+ integrate other event loops, integrate other event loop users.
+ - very little memory use (small watchers, small event loop data).
+ - optional C++ interface allowing method and function callbacks
+ at no extra memory or runtime overhead.
+ - optional Perl interface with similar characteristics (capable
+ of running Glib/Gtk2 on libev).
+ - support for other languages (multiple C++ interfaces, D, Ruby,
+ Python) available from third-parties.
+
+ Examples of programs that embed libev: the EV perl module, node.js,
+ auditd, rxvt-unicode, gvpe (GNU Virtual Private Ethernet), the
+ Deliantra MMORPG server (http://www.deliantra.net/), Rubinius (a
+ next-generation Ruby VM), the Ebb web server, the Rev event toolkit.
