Yeah, well, that's kind of the whole point of cmwq. It would try to
minimize the number of used workers but the provided concurrency will
still be enough. No async probe will be stalled due to lack of
execution context and the timings should be about the same between the
original async implemetnation and cmwq based one.

Thanks.
