Talk:Event loop
Isn't all this polling causing a lot of wasted CPU usage? --Abdull 14:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- No, the central select (or poll) call is blocking. –EdC 16:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- And blocking (computing) doesn't cause wasted CPU usage? --Abdull 15:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Certainly not; the kernel will suspend the task until the status of the file descriptor(s) changes or an event occurs. –EdC 21:40, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your answers! --Abdull 20:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
