I/O competion ports in Indy?

-Am I correct in understanding that Indy 10 won't support I/O
completion ports for some time? When will it? Thare are some
traces in the source?

-In general: If IOCP works can it support 100.000+ connections on a single windows box?

-I am building a chatserver which has to support as many clients
as possible per box, but the TCP connections don't have to do a
lot, just when people send chatrequests.
It is very tempting to try it in UDP because that means
unlimited "connections". Or would I be building checks (and keep
alive packets every minute) to see if messages arrived and just
reinventing TCP all over again no matter how I solve it? I know this is the usual answer but in this case it would be nice to avoid the IOCP mess.

-are there any other delphi implementations of IOCP that won't
involve having to drown in it yourself?
