Interesting theory. My MUD server sets every socket in the input set
automatically, and instead of setting them manually every time, it keeps a
pre-setup version, which it just memcpy()s from.
Output set is altered as data is ready to be sent, and has been sent.
Now, assuming that select() works in a nice sensible way, using
interrupts, basically. The OS should receive data for a socket, find the
right program, check if the program is waiting for the data (one
FD_ISSET() call there), and act accordingly.
Threaded may save you the time involved in checking if a certain bit is
set or not, but I really somehow doubt that the overhead in threading
won't be longer than that.
