Comment (by winter):

 My libuv branch finally start to run! For now i only test it with
 concurrent tcp clients, judged by running time, eventlog and `RTS -s`
 report, i'm pretty sure its performance is on pair with the old IO
 manager, Now i'm try to bring a tcp server benchmark, let's see how fast
 it is going to be.
