Equally respectfully, if you=92re comparing libevent and libdispatch at =
all, then you=92re only getting about 10% of what libdispatch actually =
is.  The event handling piece is really just a small fraction of it.  =
For a really nice overview written by someone *not* from Apple, I =
recommend:  http://arstechnica.com/apple/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6/12/

Libdispatch is also highly portable.  I don=92t think there=92s an OS =
flavor it *hasn=92t* been ported to at this point.
