I hope it didn't sound like I was saying threads are *always* bad, as I 
definitely don't think that. :-p

Your link to the epoll + threads document is probably the best way to go (that 
I'm aware of), to address any of the issues that Raoul brought up w.r.t. long 
operations in between the events themselves, but doesn't Netty do that already 
with a thread-pool?
