@sschoener this is a trap in default StreamReader, FileStream etc. The ‘async’ part is that it’s not on the same thread, but that’s it. To make it actually async as you’d expect, you need to specify FileOptions.Asynchronous (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.fileoptions?view=net-9.0) when creating the stream. That will turn the async operations into actual async overlapped IO.
