So basically I'd like the poller.php re-written in C, (or just
something better) or if anyone wants to look at the php to see
if they can speed it up I can pass the files along!



I'd recommend against writing networking stuff in C unless you
really need to - too easy to screw up the buffer management and
break things horribly.



I've heard good things about go (almost C speed but cleaner and
safer) for this kind of problem and would be interested in
having a bash at it in that.



I'd be interested in seeing whatever calls the poller.php as
well. I suspect it's going through the things to poll
sequentially. If it is then parallelising that should get a big
time win for not much effort.
