I take it you didn't actually read past the first line of the question? :-)
"A more subtle problem with non-blocking I/O is that it generally doesn't
work with regular files."
Given there are about 8 ways to do asynch I/O, none of which seem to work
with regular files, I was wondering if there was a 9th yet, or whether one
just does blocking I/O in a thread, which scales poorly but is good enough
for my application.

Yeah, and the second link on the page you gave says "It sucks and its
broken." :-)
