Here's one issue - removeWriter is called every time the buffer is epmtied
out. In the lifetime of a connection, the transport keeps on adding and
removing, adding and removing itself as a writer because of this. In
select() this isn't an issue, but in poll() it is, since removing and adding
the writer is an expensive operation (in fact it adds a %33 overhead, in
tests under high loads).
I'll see what I can do to fix the poll()-based implementation, but meanwhile
the select event loop is much faster under high loads.
