One thing I've never been able to reconcile is Mike Bayer's article there, set against Yury Selivanov's reported results for `asyncpg`, which at least as they're presented do indicate a significant difference in throughput.

They're both incredibly experienced developers, and I don't have any good steer on the discrepancy.

Would love to see some independent benchmarking on a typical use case to get a clearer picture on how valuable (or not) asyncio is for high-throughput database operations.
