First of all, there're more tasks: pay attention that before issuing new
async_accept, the Server calls connection->open(), which in turn issues
async_read etc - all this is processed by one single io_service...
But anyway - what if you've got 1000 incoming connections simultaniously? If
you'd got 1 thread, it would accept them one by one, processing in the
meanwhile read/write operations of the Connection object.
