FreeBSD and Py-Kqueue

[Chris Watson]

Hi all,

	Has anyone had experience with using python and the python wrapper
to kqueue in FreeBSD? I am authoring a book on postfix the MTA and I have
read posts about an asynchronous syslogd on linux. Allowing for greater
speed for postfix then a normal synchronous syslogd. Well FreeBSD doesn't
have the async option. So I believe I have two choices to test to see how
much this helps, either port Theodore Tso's syslogd to FreeBSD (icky) or
write a cheap syslogd with Python to do writes async. I was wondering if
kqueue would help syslogd out at all for increasing read/write
performance? Any thoughts on this?
