    Description

      Using WSAAsyncSelect is not the best option for developing highly-responsive servers, as Windows is not very responsive and has limitations wrt. the number of connections.

      QSocketNotifier (or an API similar to QSocketNotifier) using a thread would not have such limitations.

      For discussion of WSAAsyncSelect being discouraged for servers, see: http://www.winsockvb.com/forums/showthread.php?mode=hybrid&t=311
