The cleanest way to implement a high performance I/O multiplexing framework that could be used by Hunchentoot would be by implementing multiplexed socket streams using coroutines. Obviously, that would require a coroutine library, and I am not aware of such a thing.
Don't you think that having separate thread handling comet would be simpler? I/O multiplexing to the clients with some sort of message queueing API for requests from the app engine would be sufficient to make it work? The only obstacle for multiplexed I/O is lack of portable non-blocking I/O library.
