> "If a call to an async function is immediately awaited, we immediately execute the called function up to its first await. If the called function reaches a return without needing to await, we will be able to return that value directly without ever even creating a coroutine object or deferring to the event loop. This is a significant (~5%) CPU optimization in our async-heavy workload."

Step 1: "Who needs Threads? Just async/await all the things!"

Step 2: Build complex logic to untangle your nonsensical use of async/await and force things to run synchronously in the backend without the user knowing. See? A 5% CPU optimization right there!
