... to tornado.

Erlang uses epoll on Linux, kqueue on BSDs, et cetera.

Understood. There just seem to be a lot of complaints that the system he used for benchmarking didn't have epoll and that Tornado was slow because of select. I agree. But Erlang on that machine obviously didn't use epoll either.
