Interesting, those results are the opposite of the techempower frameworks, which find that the async frameworks are always faster: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r20&hw=.... Though in general I'm not sure about the value of bringing async to Django. If you want more performance, you can already either throw more machines at it, or isolate some part in a service that can be written with FastAPI/Go/something. Async in general makes the code more complex and harder to write, which seems to be the opposite of what Django is for.
