Your project is fundamentally about instantiating processes? Then any overhead you'd see from threading rather than asyncio is going to be completely lost in the noise. The actual fundamental work of what you're doing is WAY more than a few extra context switches. Code whichever way makes you happier, and don't take any notice of microbenchmarks.
