With Windows overlapped I/O I think you can get substantially better 
throughput by starting many AcceptEx() calls in parallel.  (For bonus 
points you can also recycle the accepted connections using DisconnectEx().)

Even so, Windows socket code always seems to be much slower than the 
equivalent on Linux.
