I'm not familiar enough with the postgres internals, but is using libevent (http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/) an option? It uses state triggered, rather than edge triggered, interface, and it automatically selects the best API for the job (epoll, poll, select). I'm not sure whether it's available for all the platforms postgres is available for.IBM has rewritten their Domino database system to use the new sys_epoll call available in the Linux 2.6 kernel.
Would Postgresql benefit from using this API? Is anyone looking at this?
