Hi everybody, I have a server and a client that I'm using to test socket performance on Cygwin; the former uses the select() system call to poll open socket file descriptors. When used under Cygwin on Windows 2000, CPU usage rapidly jumps up to 100% and the system bogs down on growing the number of clients connected. The same client/server test on Linux is almost two orders of magnitude more efficient, CPU reaches 100% when the server is concurrently answering to 50 test clients. Another strange thing is that after opening more than 32 socket file descriptor the server freezes. The question is: are these two facts true, i.e. is select() on Win2K so inefficient, and is 32 open file descriptors a hard limit? Thanks in advance for your answer.
