More Async Observations

Looking through the output of the latest benchmark run of libmemcached I just noticed this:

Nonblock
Testing mdelete_generate 1.119 [ ok ]
Testing delete_generate 0.983 [ ok ]

This means that the non-blocking version of the library is a tad faster then the multi delete support.

So I ask myself, is the multi delete support of value then? Does it matter if the above is true to have multi methods?

Semantic sugar is fine, but I am really wondering if it makes an ounce of sense.

I have the multi-set functions done, but I am wondering now if I should bother with committing them.

They add 3.5 K to the size of the library, which is not much.

More important is the question of whether or not they extend the library just a little too much. Each function just increases complexity. If someone can get the same performance by just writing a loop and using the asynchronous behavior, does it make much sense?

Is it just semantic sugar?
