Nice article. I agree with the strategy. No matter how clever the OS is in general, it cannot be more clever than a well designed db kernel. A little off topic

Nice article. I agree with the strategy. No matter how clever the OS is in general, it cannot be more clever than a well designed db kernel. A little off topic, but I have been waiting over a decade for Linux to merge all async waiting into one system call. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a kqueue system call in posix? It would then force Linux to finally implement it.
