Yes.

No, that option has nothing to do with the threading modes.

No, a thread pool is again different, as there you use one thread to
handle multiple connections, which may give you the delays you found so
problematic.

MHD_USE_POLL has no impact on MHD_USE_THREAD_PER_CONNECTION, as in that
case neither select() nor poll() are used anyway.

Happy hacking!
