For some damn reason I am remembering that the array that
WaitForMultipleObjects waits on should be "shifted" or even randomized
per call in a server loop that is using EVENTS. IIRC, this was way
back in late 90's and early 2000's.

 
I would hope that the order of entries is not important, as that would
defeat the point of non-determinism.

 
I remember reading a paper on the 50,000 concurrent connections issue
wrt IOCP vs events. Well, it made sure to tell the user to at least
shift the array that WFMO's waits on, per call in the server loop.

But why? Surely events relevant to entries in the list should be serviced
in the order they arrive, not in the order in which the entries happen to
occur in the list. There is no other reasonable way to do it.
