Do not do multiple. Make your own simple queue for each connection and be happy.
I'm acquainted with this problem and got quite bad behavior when using
multiple async_write's at once.

Of course, you still can run async_read and async_write together for
one connection.

Of course, you still can run multiple async_read's, async_write's,
when you have multiple connections.

Hope this helps.
BTW, you can find in boost archives two discussions on similar topic.
