Django 4.1 - Hackdot

Or when accidentally some blocking database driver is used, even when django's ORM is async, a query with mongodb's driver is not async. Or just the filesystem... This harms performance badly, especially if the idea was to run only a few threads.

Other than that, it has benefits too! :-)

And indeed, there's an important caveat in the Django 4.1 docs;

Note that, at this stage, the underlying database operations remain synchronous, with contributions ongoing to push asynchronous support down into the SQL compiler, and integrate asynchronous database drivers....
