I shoudl also state that while on Windows IOCP is faster than blocking as 
well, it suffers the same problems as non blocking on Linux does and is the 
reason in most cases it is no used.

In short:
-Serialization
-Security
-Priority
-Ease of coding logic

In general blocking sockets are more than fast enough for 95% of the 
requirements, and in teh other 5% often the above requirement exclude the use 
of non blocking.
