[slime-devel] Why not use system:add-fd-handler in cmucl?

[Håkon Alstadheim]

The create-swank-server function in swank-cmucl.lisp has been changed
from doing:

  (system:add-fd-handler fd :input #'accept-connection)

into just doing:

  (accept-connection fd)


This means one must enable multi-processing to run slime. I /think/
the former method is more efficient, but I guess that's marginal. The
fact that local set up can more easily break slime is a real downside
though. So what's the upside to this change?
