In http.e, there exists this code:

object has_data = sock:select(sock, {}, {}, timeout) 
if (length(has_data[1]) > 2) and equal(has_data[1][2],1) then 
   object data = sock:receive(sock, 0) 

It has always bothered me that sock:select is using the timeout, and that http.e isn't task-aware bothers me. These two deficencies mess up the speed and responsiveness of Euphoria. The tiny app news.ex runs much better if those lines are changed as follows:

object has_data = sock:select(sock, {}, {}, 0,0) 
if (length(has_data[1]) > 2) and not equal(has_data[1][2],1) -- if not readable 
  then   
       task_yield() 
       -- pgm flow then falls to the bottom of while time()... 
  else 
       object data = sock:receive(sock,0)
