Research direction

Start with the async io-bound example from the tutorial materials and run it under Python 3.9.13 on macOS 13.1, comparing its timing with the other examples. Done means determining whether the slowdown is reproducible and documenting the cause or any required tweak.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi.
I very much enjoyed your tutorial on concurrency in python.
I tested all of the examples you gave. One in particular irks me:
The async io-bound example is (by far!) the slowest on my mac m1 (10 cores) os 13.1.
Not sure why but it is significantly slower than the others.

I'd like to know if there is something in your code that needs to be tweaked
as I have an application I'm considering using async for part of.

Any idea why this would be ?

Thanks!
