I was talking to one of my irc mates who happends to be one of the major coders for the dalnet irc server(s) and he was talking about them recently switching from select() to poll().

I don't understand much about it, bue he says its is alot faster. Unfortuatly, since i don't truely understand it, and have yet to really find any examples on how to use it (other than a simple one he showed me).

I was wondering if its worth looking into more? or for a mud with 20 or so people on at once max (i'm being hopeful as its a brand new mud that hasn't even started yet) is it even worth it? does the speed different matter then?
