[Live-devel] Benchmarking

Sets of sockets aren't 'scanned' anywhere in the code.  Instead, the 
event loop is implemented (by default, with the "BasicTaskScheduler" 
class) using "select()", which should be efficient even with large 
numbers of readable sockets.

It's possible, however, that with large numbers of open sockets, you 
might be running into some OS-imposed limit that could be hurting 
performance.  I think Linux has ways of configuring the OS to support 
more open sockets, so that's something that you might want to look 
into.

(Also, re. 'benchmarking' in general: Remember, You Have Complete Source Code.)
