It's asynchronous outside of the main Catalyst handler code, which is rather
all the engine is responsible for.

I experimented for a while with using coro to suspend/resume the main catalyst
execution (since then you could use something like PoCo::EasyDBI to
offload DBIC's database access so you don't block for that) but the client
ran out of funding and I've not had time to revisit it on my own time yet.

If you don't have the htpasswd program then please mail me a password in
plain text off-list. The repos are http only so you didn't want to use a
secure password anyway ...
