Hi Hamish and all,

As the author of cygepoll, I’d like to provide some context regarding
its implementation.

Currently, cygepoll is an experimental wrapper around upoll
(https://github.com/richardhundt/upoll). In the Cygwin environment, it
simply maps the epoll interface onto poll or select.

Because it relies on these underlying mechanisms, it doesn't offer the
performance benefits typically associated with epoll on Linux. It
essentially carries the same overhead as poll or select.

If the goal is to provide a truly performant epoll implementation for
Cygwin, I believe it should be implemented natively within
cygwin1.dll—perhaps by leveraging Windows-specific APIs.

Providing cygepoll as a standalone package might offer API
compatibility, but it wouldn't meet the performance expectations users
have for epoll. Therefore, I think discussing a native implementation
within the Cygwin core is a more meaningful path than packaging my
current experimental library.

Best regards,

Daisuke Fujimura
