No, I don't use async capabilities of 1.2.2.0 .NET library, because it was not available in time I wrote the code. I use my own thread manager, originally designed to pass multiple insert/update/delete requests to Google. Recently I found a way to use multi-threading also during user retrieval in my scenario, so I have simply extended my synchro thread manager with one method.
