It would be good to get an understanding of what the performance issue 
is. I recall we had issues with the /dev/poll driver where there was 
contention on a mutex in the Solaris kernel. This was one of the motives 
for EventPortSelectorProvider. Given that /dev/poll is legacy now then I 
think we should be looking to have EventPortSelectorProvider be the 
default on Solaris now.
