Indeed. It seems pretty clear to me it is framed as an benchmark of non tuned idiomatic performance. Maybe it doesn't call it out explicitly - but in my view

Indeed. It seems pretty clear to me it is framed as an benchmark of non tuned idiomatic performance. Maybe it doesn't call it out explicitly - but in my view that is a reasonable enough test. I'm pretty sure all the platforms could support an FFI binding or equivalent to an optimized epoll C implementation - or hours of tuning.
