How to Safely Store Your Users' Passwords in 2016
Do the async methods actually execute on a thread pool though? Or do they use enough async methods internally to periodically release the main thread enough to keep it responsive?
From a quick glance at the source, the answer to the first is no.

This one is truly async, it uses a libuv managed thread pool.
