I would think that you could probably get 80% of the performance with
ordinary threads and ordinary blocking IO, and without the great
increase in complexity required to implement asynchronous IO. If someone
then wants to go after a possible 25% performance gain, they could
submit a working set of modifications, or wait a few months for the
hardware to catch up.
