The question is why is the userspace so shitty? Doesn't Microsoft implement some async things into their kernel? Or stuff like epoll, kqueue, etc..?

NT syscall overhead is immense compared to a Unix derivative. There are layers galore.

I am not an NT guy so maybe this is off, but doesn't windows support overlapped IO? To my understanding it is a socket only version of epoll.
