Your example is too abstract and disregards the issues that Emacs has
with such "pure" parallelism.  In my response to your original
proposal I tried to explain the difficulties with implementing your
suggestions _in_Emacs_, and the complexity which any such
implementation will bring with it.  When you compare synchronous with
async implementation, you need to take those difficulties and
complexities into consideration, otherwise the comparison will not be
useful.
