GAM_POLLER vs. kqueue

I see the newest version of gamin provides the option of running the
GAM_POLLER instead of kqueue's.

Anyone have any guidance on pros and cons? I'm sticking to the default
unless I see a reason to change, but gam is annoying in that it can
prevent unmounting volumes, so I thought that this might be relevant.
