That is superstitious nonsense.  The asynchronous winsock API had to be 
invented because Windows 3.x did not support pre-emptive multitasking.  
It has no inherent performance advantage.  Now that Windows has threads, 
many people argue that the synchronous API is the better choice.  In the 
end, it comes down to personal preference.
