Neo-Async is thought to be used as a drop-in replacement for [Async](https://github.com/caolan/async), it almost fully covers its functionality and runs [faster](#benchmark).

Benchmark is [here](#benchmark)!

## Benchmark

[Benchmark: Async vs Neo-Async](http://suguru03.hatenablog.com/entry/2016/06/10/135559)

### How to check

```bash
$ git clone git@github.com:suguru03/async-benchmark.git
$ cd async-benchmark
$ npm install
$ node . // It might take more than one hour...
```

### Environment

* Ubuntu v12.04
* Node.js v6.2.1
* async v2.0.0-rc.6
* neo-async v2.0.0-rc.1
* benchmark v2.1.0
* func-comparator v0.7.1

### Result

Neo-Async is 1.27 ~ 10.7 times faster than Async.

The value is the ratio (Neo-Async/Async) of the average speed.
