Right.  With Bigstrings it is not necessary to blit buffers
before/after performing I/O-system calls.  They also do not have to
(cannot) be moved around during heap compaction.  They also play
nicely with OCaml standard I/O-channels, using vector I/O to send data
buffered by the channel and in the bigstring in one system call.

Note that we support epoll in the Linux extension library, i.e. this
allows you to scale your applications to thousands of descriptors.
