I couldn't have described it better.

handleEvents() returns 1 if any UI events came in (or if the event
buffer is not empty), otherwise 0 to indicate no UI activity to worry
about.
In other words, ioRelinquishProc only sleeps if there is no UI
activity and no descriptor is ready for a pending i/o operation.

Would this be particularly helpful to you? I never call aioPoll()
with non-zero from anywhere except relinquishProc, so for me it's
better being outside aioPoll. But if you'd find it useful inside
aioPoll then I don't think moving it there would break anything.
Cheers,
