[As an interesting side-note, it seems libevent-2.0.4 uses the same]

Sorry, forgot to mention that this can easily explain the perceived
performance, as libev does EPOLL_CTL_MOD, while libevent does
EPOLL_CTL_ADD, which is faster in the benchmark case (it simply errors out
without writing memory), but does not support fork.

Working correctly with fork is, of course, an advertised feature of libev.
