I don't know what epoll is.

On a related note, perhaps the needforspeed folks should look into supporting kqueue on systems where it's available? That's a really fast BSD-originated API to replace select/poll. (It's fast due to the way the API is designed.)

roughly speaking, epoll is kqueue for linux.
