On the one hand, you're completely right.

On the other hand, shouldn't real code be tested? How accurate would a ugly-optimized-code be when you SHOULD write reusable code in your real life projects?

I wouldn't use async myself, so what's "real" code varies from person to person. This is why benchmarks like this are highly misleading.

But ideally, yes. We'd be better informed to see how real world code performs rather than some idyllic perf-oriented creature.
