For now yes but we are still experimenting with hierarchical polling 
schemes where virtual threads do the initial poll [1]. So far we haven't 
seen any improvements but it may depend on the workload. We will 
eventually have to do better on NUMA systems that will probably require 
a poller per node. So yes, we may have to introduce some configuration. 
For now, it's working well with 100k connections and a large number of 
connections ready but we will more people to try it out with different 
workloads to see what issues might arise.
