I provided just some pseudo code to illustrate an example how the async
interface should look like (more or less). The essential part is where
you allow to feed multiple requests without blocking.
I went up the call-chain and found one potential user which seem to have
a list of pages which are processed. This looked like a nice example. I
haven't looked at the details.

I have no opinion whether or not it makes sense to switch to the async
interface in a sync way.
