I've looked at it in the past. From memory, NSPR is a fairly big chunk of
code and it seemed to me that it's self contained for lots of system stuff.
Don't know about I/O, but I played with it to replace the BSD malloc it uses
with pymalloc and I was pleased to see the resulting speed & mem stats after
rebuilding one of the past Mozilla distribs. This is all the experience I have
with it.

I guess that this one would be hard...
