No, currently it uses select(), therefore it would be slow and
noscaleable. "We call it BETA as it's better than nothing".
The next step will be IOCP with single thread, then with several threads:
currently nginx is designed as single thread application, so
it's required to set mutexes and locks in various places.

BTW, could someone run the simple small static file benchmark for
nginx/Windows, nginx/Cygwin, Apache2 and IIS (from another host):

ab -n 1000 -c 1 ...
ab -n 1000 -c 10 ...
ab -n 1000 -c 1 -k ...

?
