The async
ImpitHttpClientAsync.call()serialized and compressed request bodies inline on the event loop. Compression is CPU-bound (and brotli is becoming the default via the Apify SDK), so it blocked the loop for the whole duration of the compression, stalling every other concurrent task (response reads, the platform events websocket, other in-flight requests).Request preparation is now offloaded to a worker thread via
asyncio.to_threadwhenever there is a body to compress. Bodyless requests (the common polling, listing, and get path) stay inline to avoid a needless thread-dispatch hop. The synchronous client is unchanged, as it has no event loop to block.
