Perhaps he can, TCPSocket class for example is non-blocking.

I understand this has something to do with rb_thread_select(), However
I've searched in
the archives and found no much details about it's behaviour(intern.h
wasn't very helpful
resource as well)

I might be willing to attempt patching the mysql extension myself, If
someone can pinpoint
to a source of information about rb_thread_select().
