We experimented with kqueue on OpenBSD 3.2 for a UDP protocol and
found that performance was worse then select. You will need to
benchmark to be sure that kqueue gives you an improvement.

Subject: Making Apache use kqueue

Hi,

In an effort to make Apache use the kqueue mechanism, I've started to
write an ap_select() replacement which uses kqueue. You can download it
at http://pedro.sna.cx/kqueue.c.

To which extent such a change would affect Apache's performance, I
currently do not know - That's why I'm making this post. If at all
possible, I would like people to comment, test, speak.

Feedback will be very much appreciated.
