It doesn't matter whether it is 1 byte or 1 million bytes, wasted memory is
wasted memory. I never claimed it to be a large amount. I claimed it was
wasted, and it is.

Also, I could be wrong (I'm not too familiar with poll), but I don't recall
it using a linked list at all.

int poll(struct pollfd fds[], nfds_t nfds, int timeout);

That's from my FreeBSD manpage. You specify an array, not a linked list.
