If your task is io bound, aka, lots of network stuff, multi process is overkill. Also, asyncio can handle a _lot_ more tasks 100,000's as opposed to 10s. So it really shines in heavy io things. Also, multiprocessing can not share memory, and that can be a pretty busy g disadvantage depending on the task.
