  The performance penalty is likely the difference between 5K packets/s and 20K packets/s.  So if you have a small system, it doesn't matter.

  The async stuff in v4 is largely there to permit higher scaling.  i.e. millions to tens of millions of users.  Right now, v3 runs just fine for hundreds of thousands of users and more.  But it could be better, which is why we're doing v4.
