There is a lot of misunderstanding about async/await. It has
nothing to do with "conservation of thread resources" or trading
"raw performance for an ability
to handle a truly massive number of simultaneous tasks".
Async/await is just 'syntactic sugar' where the compiler
re-writes your code into a state machine around APM
(Asynchronous programming model which was introduced in .NET
2.0 sometime around 2002 I believe). That's all there is to it,
it makes your asynchronous code look and feel synchronous.
