This works by calling C on every iteration of the loop, and thus this might slow down your event loop if you do a lot of loop iterations and little real work, but is usually not noticeable (on my -GNU/Linux system for example, C is actually a simple 5-insn sequence -without a system call and thus I fast, but my GNU/Linux system also has -C which is even faster). +GNU/Linux system for example, C is actually a simple 5-insn +sequence without a system call and thus I fast, but my GNU/Linux +system also has C which is even faster). (Update: glibc +versions 2.25 apparently removed the C optimisation again). The big advantage of this flag is that you can forget about fork (and forget about forgetting to tell libev about forking, although you still
