How can I optimize my Boost.Asio application for better performance?

To optimize your Boost.Asio application, consider adjusting the thread pool size, using efficient I/O operations, and minimizing context switches.

What specific settings should I adjust in the io_service?

You can adjust the number of threads in the io_service by using a thread pool. Also, ensure that you are using the right completion handlers to avoid unnecessary overhead.

Are there any common pitfalls to avoid when tuning?

Yes, avoid overloading the io_service with too many tasks at once, and be cautious with blocking operations that can hinder performance.

How can I measure the performance improvements after tuning?

You can use profiling tools to measure latency and throughput before and after tuning. Tools like Valgrind or gprof can be helpful.
