Wait, I think I've missed something because that response seems overly dismissive. How is offloading CPU-intensive stuff to a worker system not getting it done?
because you dont fix everything with another layer of indirection. add in some more queuing (which as we know never has a problem) just to ger around 'no threads' seems stupid.
That comment sort of destroyed all your credibility. Would you care to elaborate where in the "real world" there is ever a situation where a tight, asynchronous event-processing loop is required to do heavy CPU lifting?
