Because the process that was in async--eager-process has been "consumed"
for the current sexp, so you need to create a new one which will be used
for the next request.

But indeed, if the problem is that async-start-process takes a long
*synchronous* time, then swapping the two won't help.

Yes, and more specifically in GNU ELPA.
