For instance the design section says:

But not why or how these make network applications more efficient.
I have to consider this out of scope for the asio documentation, at least for now. If I included that sort of material it would add hundreds of pages, and there's already plenty of excellent literature available (e.g. Stevens).
I agree however if there are ways to use the library that are more efficient than the obvious way I feel some further information should be included in the documentation. For instance a link to a website or a reference to a book that supports and explains the efficiency claim would be sufficient and appreciated in this case. Thanks, Michael Marcin
