Question: what is the recommended way to do a concurrent search?

I found bonsai recently and I am trying to change the LDAP searching part in my project from ldap3 to bonsai since ldap3 is too slow especially establishing the first connection.

I need to search many data at the same time, so I wonder what is the recommended way to do this concurrent by using bonsai?

I worked out a coroutine way and a thread way:

# use coroutine

async def search(pool, mail):
    print(f'start search {mail}...')
    con = await pool.get()
    result = await con.search(
        BASE, bonsai.LDAPSearchScope.SUBTREE,
        f'(mail={mail})', attrlist=['uid']
    )
    await pool.put(con)
    print(f'end search {mail}!')
    return result

async def main():
    ml = ['one@mail.com', 'two@address.com', 'three@something.com']
    client = bonsai.LDAPClient(LDAP_URL)
    pool = AIOConnectionPool(client, minconn=1, maxconn=5)
    await pool.open()
    rl = await asyncio.gather(*[search(pool, m) for m in ml])
    return rl

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
result = loop.run_until_complete(main())

# use thread

client = bonsai.LDAPClient(LDAP_URL)
pool = bonsai.pool.ThreadedConnectionPool(client, 1, 5)
pool.open()

def search(mail):
    print(f'start search {mail}...')
    con = pool.get()
    result = con.search(
        BASE, bonsai.LDAPSearchScope.SUBTREE,
        f'(mail={mail})', attrlist=['uid']
    )
    pool.put(con)
    print(f'end search {mail}!')
    return result

with multiprocessing.pool.ThreadPool(5) as p:
     result = p.map(search, ml)

but I am not sure which one is better and whether there is a better way than both these two.
