Async operations have never been to speed things up, but to prevent synchronous operations from blocking threads.

This should have no (big) performance impact, but these will most probably allow better concurrency, which can be quite critical for a web framework.

Which should allow a Django instance to serve more concurrent requests.

Making views async won't do much to make an individual request faster (besides keeping it from being blocked by other slower requests).
