Hello dear list,

I am using boost for some months now and i have implemented a server which
creates several threads of io_service::run in order to respond to async
writes and reads. I am looking for some performance improvements and just
read the http server 2 example and saw that it uses a pool of io_service
objects. So my question is, what would be the pros and cons of using such a
pool instead of a thread pool of io_service::run ?

Thanks in avance and best regards,
