The executive summary, as explained to a slow clown was this:
Current polling technology asks connection 1, "Have you got anything for
me to do?" Current polling technology asks connection 2, "Have you got
anything for me to do?" Current polling technology asks connection 3,
"Have you got anything for me to do?" Current polling technology asks
connection 4, "Have you got anything for me to do?" Current polling
technology asks connection 5, "Have you got anything for me to do?"
Current polling technology asks connection 6, "Have you got anything for
me to do?" ... Current polling technology asks connection N, "Have you got
anything for me to do?" Then it starts all over again.
Whereas FASTPOLL asks: "Has anyone got anything for me to do? Has anyone
got anything for me to do? Has anyone got anything for me to do? Has
anyone got anything for me to do? Has anyone got anything for me to do?
Has anyone got anything for me to do? Has anyone got anything for me to
do? Has anyone got anything for me to do? Has anyone got anything for me
to do? Has anyone got anything for me to do? Has anyone got anything for
me to do? Has anyone got anything for me to do? ..."
On HP, it apparently is like free money (because HP's polling libraries
are ****.) On other platforms it's still worth doing, but not as
impressive.
