AI-generatedSelect() latency spikes under high concurrent file descriptor load
Select() Latency Under Heavy FD Load The POSIX select() API is widely used for monitoring multiple file descriptors, but its performance under concurrent high‑load conditions is uncertain. The specification intentionally leaves the algorithm for evaluating readiness unspecified, allowing implementations to choose from linear scans, bitmap checks, or kernel‑l
