For some reason I always thought it had to do with storage.
- remexre 2y agoThat could be because there's not another reliable way to do async reads and writes to disk files?

Depending on the exact setup, storage IOPS can be increased by up to 100% versus the older asynchronous IO kernel API [1], only beaten by pure user-space implementations that aren't as feature-complete.
