    Sorry, I got the reference wrong.  I was referring to a
    recently published HP paper[1] which concluded that "contrary
    to conventional wisdom, even a select based server can
    provide high throughput if its overhead is amortized by
    performing more useful work per select call."

    This supported the results of benchmarks I conducted on
    FreeBSD using select, poll and kqueue at the heart of the
    State Threads implementation.

    I've been using kern.maxproc=kern.maxprocfiles=2*32768 for my
    tests and that worked successfully.

    Thanks,
