What are the performance benchmarks for asyncio?

What are the performance benchmarks for asyncio?

Asyncio is designed for concurrent code execution in Python. Benchmarks show it can handle thousands of tasks efficiently.

How does asyncio compare to threading in terms of performance?

Asyncio generally outperforms threading for I/O-bound tasks due to lower overhead, but threading can be better for CPU-bound tasks.

Can you provide some specific benchmark results?

Sure! Benchmarks indicate that asyncio can handle around 10,000 concurrent connections with minimal latency, while threading struggles beyond a few hundred.

What factors can affect asyncio's performance?

Factors include the nature of the tasks (I/O-bound vs CPU-bound), the event loop implementation, and the efficiency of the code.
