I would be careful using the information gained from measurements to
inform algorithms for dealing with load.

Note that io_context threads are not designed to perform long-running
tasks; it is an unwritten rule that completion handlers should not
block. They need to do their job and return as quickly as possible.
Long-running work should be scheduled to a separate thread pool.

Thanks
