Hi,

from: 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/implementation.html

"An additional thread per io_service is used to emulate asynchronous 
host resolution. This thread is created on the first call to either 
ip::tcp::resolver::async_resolve() or 
ip::udp::resolver::async_resolve()."
