I make plenty use of async requests to get files (images) and make web service calls at the same time. It's a Xamarin mobile application. Mobile apps are sometimes constrained by latency, so having a few requests in flight at once speeds things up. Performance is not just fewer CPU cycles. > IIS has many threads available to it, that's my entire point My web services run on a VM with four cores. That's what I get given, and there's another twenty websites on it. The less overhead my code has the better. Just because it's not 100K TPS doesn't mean there aren't benefits.
