On: Async Python is not faster

[WoodenChair]

> result = asyncio.run(red(x))

Still much harder to think about/read then

   result = red(x)

We should be finding ways to get to the latter with concurrency. async/await is at best a patchwork compromise until we can do better.

I much prefer the performance implications of my code be explicit than implicit.

Async in this case has less ceremony than threads. But still enough to make thing explicit.
