Re: [Libevent-users] When to use multiple bases?

[Tomer Heber <tomer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, I use a base for each thread. Usually one thread for all the listeners. And multiple threads for read write on sockets. It usually scales pretty well. Nonetheless, there is no one correct answer. It really depends on the application you plan to implement and on the requirements.
