Async file reading could be done in Windows. What I can give is the
link to Russian blog:

Everything that you described - could be achieved by asio.
You can configure number of working threads by running
io_service.run() from each of them.
I guess, at this point you _will_ need to syncronize access to
"controller" through some mutex or asio::strands
and it will not significantly lower performance.
