Comment (by Phyx-):

 I think Joey's IOCP based manager from #11394 could be a good start for
 this.

 We should see how easy it is to bring his old code up to date on GHC now
 and how much of it can be re-used https://github.com/joeyadams/haskell-
 iocp

 Might also want to consider support for Registered I/O which would
 significantly up the throughput for Windows Based server programs. It's a
 recent addition to Windows 8+, but might be worth a look at
 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh997032.aspx.
