Performance Degradation due to the change to poll() from select()

[yhirose]

From 6e73a63, the benchmark tells the server performance is degraded on my M1 MacBook Pro.

Ouch. I have 3 immediate ideas I want to try. My schedule is a bit uncertain over the next 4-5 days, and I don't know if I have time beyond the cpp-httplib issues I've already committed to. But I will look into it once I'm free. Thank you for your patience!

Edit: Oh, and seeing as this is on macOS, I'll first have to replicate it on Linux.

@falbrechtskirchinger, No rush! It's totally fine to work on this whenever you are available. (I also work on this project in my spare time. 😃)
