in my experience a lean mean libevent api is the winner. once i need dns or http for size or speed there are more choices than to bog down the event handler. Yes, I understand the benefit of having dns/http/and who knows what in the event handler. once a program needs event handling for multi platform simplicity still the best way to go. i stopped using libevent since the dns/http stuff was added. and in some cases i had to write event handlers from scratch for different oses to have uniformly good acceptable performance.
