That was 125 interrupts/sec x 10 fds ('poll' here was the per-file
callback in the kernel, not the select call). With your numbers, it's
more like 10k polls/sec which can be eliminated.

I was estimating from the strace parsed output, the real number is 7.
So the kernel calls 7k callbacks/sec only to return with a timeout.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
