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.


Yep you're right - disregard what I said above. :)
