 == Executive Summary
 
-This report presents comprehensive performance benchmarks comparing *Boost.Corosio* against *Boost.Asio* (with coroutines) on Windows using the IOCP (I/O Completion Ports) backend. The benchmarks cover handler dispatch, socket throughput, socket latency, and HTTP server workloads.
+This report presents comprehensive performance benchmarks comparing *Boost.Corosio*, *Boost.Asio with coroutines* (`co_spawn`/`use_awaitable`), and *Boost.Asio with callbacks* on Windows using the IOCP (I/O Completion Ports) backend. The benchmarks cover handler dispatch, socket throughput, socket latency, HTTP server workloads, timers, and connection churn.
 
 === Bottom Line
 
-Corosio *significantly outperforms* Asio in handler dispatch (16-61% faster) while delivering *equivalent performance* in socket I/O and HTTP server workloads. Asio has a slight edge in tail latency (p99).
+Corosio *outperforms Asio coroutines* in handler dispatch (9-50% faster) and *scales dramatically better* under multi-threaded load. It delivers *equivalent performance* in socket I/O, latency, and HTTP server workloads. Asio callbacks achieve the highest raw single-threaded dispatch throughput, but Corosio closes the gap as thread counts increase.
 
 === Where Corosio Excels
 
-* *Single-threaded handler post:* 61% faster (1.36 Mops/s vs 847 Kops/s)
-* *Concurrent post and run:* 61% faster (2.32 Mops/s vs 1.44 Mops/s)
-* *Interleaved post/run:* 37% faster (2.35 Mops/s vs 1.71 Mops/s)
-* *Multi-threaded handler dispatch:* 16% faster at 8 threads (3.47 Mops/s vs 3.00 Mops/s)
+* *Multi-threaded handler scaling:* Best scaling of all three — maintains 89% throughput at 8 threads vs 58% (Asio coroutines) and 53% (Asio callbacks)
+* *Concurrent post and run:* 46% faster than Asio coroutines (2.35 Mops/s vs 1.61 Mops/s)
+* *Interleaved post/run:* 34% faster than Asio coroutines (2.14 Mops/s vs 1.60 Mops/s)
+* *HTTP concurrent connections:* 5-7% higher throughput than Asio coroutines
+
+=== Where Asio Callbacks Leads
+
+* *Single-threaded handler post:* 51% faster than Corosio (2.59 Mops/s vs 1.71 Mops/s)
+* *Bidirectional socket throughput:* 2.6× higher at large buffers (5.74 GB/s vs 2.18 GB/s at 64KB)
 
 === Where Asio Has an Edge
 
-* *Tail latency (p99):* 17% better ping-pong p99 (13.90 μs vs 16.70 μs)
+* *Timer schedule/cancel:* 10× faster (35-38 Mops/s vs 3.44 Mops/s)
+* *Bidirectional socket throughput at large buffers:* Asio coroutines 2.5× faster than Corosio
 
 === Where They're Equal
 
-* *Socket throughput:* Essentially identical (6.29 GB/s vs 6.34 GB/s at 64KB)
-* *Socket latency (mean):* Identical (9.62 μs vs 9.68 μs)
-* *HTTP server throughput:* Comparable (±2% at all thread counts)
+* *Unidirectional socket throughput:* Within 5% across all buffer sizes
+* *Socket latency:* Mean within 2%, p99 within 3%
+* *HTTP server throughput:* Within 5% at all thread counts
+* *Concurrent timer latency:* Identical across all implementations

+This makes Corosio the best choice for applications that distribute work across threads.
+
+=== Socket I/O
+
+Unidirectional socket throughput is equivalent across all three implementations, confirming that the kernel socket path — not the user-space framework — is the bottleneck.
+
+Bidirectional throughput reveals a difference: Asio implementations achieve significantly higher combined throughput at larger buffer sizes. Corosio's bidirectional throughput is comparable to its unidirectional throughput, suggesting serialization between the read and write paths. This is an area for future optimization.
+
+=== Socket Latency
+
+Latency results are tightly clustered across all three. Mean latencies differ by less than 0.5 μs. Tail latencies (p99) differ by less than 0.4 μs at the single-pair level. These differences are within measurement noise.
+
+=== HTTP Server
+
+HTTP server performance is comparable across all three implementations at all concurrency levels and thread counts. At 16 threads with 32 connections, all three converge to ~422-426 Kops/s. This confirms that for real-world HTTP workloads, the choice of framework has minimal performance impact.
+
+=== Timers
+
+Timer schedule/cancel throughput is a notable gap — Asio's timer operations are approximately 10× faster. However, the gap narrows substantially for timer fire rate (8%) and disappears entirely for concurrent timer latency accuracy. Applications that create and cancel timers at very high rates may notice this difference; applications that primarily use timers for timeouts and delays will not.

-For coroutine-based async programming on Windows (IOCP), *Corosio provides equivalent socket I/O performance* while delivering *significantly faster handler dispatch*. The choice between the two may come down to API preference and ecosystem considerations rather than raw performance.
+For coroutine-based async programming on Windows (IOCP), *Corosio provides equivalent or better performance* compared to Asio coroutines in every category except bidirectional socket throughput and timer schedule/cancel. Corosio's superior multi-threaded scaling makes it particularly well-suited for applications that distribute work across threads.
