Description
It would be interesting to show the performance difference between servers using `epoll`/`select` and servers doing blocking operations, in particular because the Go server is (currently) limited to only doing (e)polling.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing threaded server implementations and the Go server mentioned in the issue. Compare how the servers use epoll/select or blocking operations, then identify the benchmark entry points used for performance measurements. Done means polling variants exist for the threaded servers and their performance can be compared.
