 Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.
 
-	- use 1-based heaps, simplifies code, reduces codesize, makes
-          for better cache-efficiency and increases memory requirements
-          by up to two pointers/loop.
+        - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
+          codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
+        - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
+          of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
+          2-based heaps.
         - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
         - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.
         - improve ev_stat docs.
