I prototyped moving to aiohttp from requests/multiprocessing. The speedup was amazing. Saw something like a 60% reduction in runtime for our use case. Only reason the code hasn't gone live: we currently use requests_negotiate_sspi for authentication, which sadly isn't supported by aiohttp. Not sure if httpx supports it. Looks like it might. Planning on giving it a shot next week.

We don’t have any third party packages for that authentication style yet, but we do have an API for supporting custom auth flows... https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/#customizing-authentic...

If you’re interested in trying httpx you’d be very welcome to raise an issue an issue related to NTLM/Negotiate authentication - it’d be really helpful for us to work through that and figure out if our auth API is sufficient for implementing that, or if there’s anything we’re missing.

Thanks, will do.
