+
+    <para>The event loop design is targeted on running a separate
+    instance of the event loop in each thread; it has no concept of
+    distributing events from a single event loop instance onto
+    multiple worker threads. Dispatching events is strictly ordered
+    and subject to configurable priorities. In each event loop
+    iteration a single event source is dispatched. Each time an event
+    source is dispatched the kernel is polled for new events, before
+    the next event source is dispatched. The event loop is designed to
+    honor priorities and provide fairness within each priority. It is
+    not designed to provide optimal throughput, as this contradicts
+    these goals due the limitations of the underlying <citerefentry
+    project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>epoll</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    primitives.</para>
+
+    <para>The event loop implementation provides the following features:</para>

+      <constant>CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM</constant> and
+      <constant>CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM</constant> clocks that can resume
+      the system from suspend. When creating timer events a required
+      accuracy parameter may be specified which allows coalescing of
