Benchmark
=========
During test benchmarks/comparison.py ran on a virtual machine (Ubuntu, 4G RAM and 2 CPUs) with hiredis installed.

redis server in local area network
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Only run with uvloop, or it will be too slow.
Although synchronous code may perform better than in asynchronous, asynchronous won't block other code.

**test results may differ depending on your workstation and networking hardware (you may run the benchmark yourself to determine which one is the most suitable for you)**

Advantages
^^^^^^^^^^

1. hiredis is an optional dependency for aredis.
2. API of aredis was mostly ported from redis-py, which is easy to use. It lets you easily port existing code to work with asyncio.
3. aredis has a decent efficiency (please run benchmarks/comparison.py to see which async redis client is suitable for you).
4. uvloop event loop is supported by aredis, it can double the speed of your async code.
