Two questions, A. will returning from the event-dispatch function using
the above close all connections in the mean time, and B. why is it bad
architecture (at least it feels like it) to put my server's background
work as the timeout code path of make-listener-handler and set the
timeout to something like .01?

Also, I could be potentially sending megabytes to gigabytes of data back
and forth between the clients and server, so I assume there a nonblocking
interface to reading and writing the stream in an unsigned byte sequence
oriented fashion once established? 

Thank you.
