Any plans for an async version that is non-blocking? #1

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but when I throw a lot of text at the convert function, it will hang everything until it finishes.

No, you are not doing it wrong. The function is blocking, and I currently have no plans for a async version. I'm not even sure it could be done since it relies on a synchronous call to a C++ function.

Actually, now that I think of it, it could be done the Node.js cluster API to fork a child process.
