Also, fibers was written by peoples that have a way better understanding of Guile internal then I do, so I would expect it to be better in some areas. It also use epoll(2) instead of select(2), which is way better for events listening. I will make the change once Guile has native support for epoll(2). I currently only use select(2) for listening on timerfd_create(2) timers to handle sleeps of userspace threads, so the impact is marginal.epoll is as I understand it linux only so that's not a reasonable dependency. fibers now works with libevent which wraps multiple faclilities and is thus pretty portable.
Guile-Fibers still uses epoll on Linux, on other systems it uses libevent. Greetings, Maxime.
