Hello,

I have heard umpteen times not to use AsyncIO and Linux with the 2.3
series...I have also heard to use it with 2.4 instead of diskd under
linux. I probably will switch myself to it someday.

Also, reading the FAQ, it states that AsyncIO will probably be slower if
your cache is not too busy.
