Asynchronous vs Synchronous Task Execution in Python

This repository compares asynchronous and synchronous task execution in Python, showcasing performance differences between asyncio and time.sleep.

Comparison

Asynchronous Programming (asyncio):

• Allows concurrent execution of tasks.
• Total execution time is close to that of a single task (around 2 seconds).

Synchronous Programming (time.sleep):

• Executes tasks sequentially, blocking program execution.
• Total execution time is the sum of all tasks (around 6 seconds).
