When everything is starting up we are likely to have a lot of child processes producing output at once. This means that we can reduce overhead a bit by allowing epoll_wait() to return more than one descriptor at once, it cuts down on the number of system calls we need to do which on virtual platforms where the syscall overhead is a bit more noticable and we're likely to have a lot more children active can make a small but noticable difference. On physical platforms the relatively small number of processes being run and vastly improved speeds push the effects of this change into the noise.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
