Hi all, trying to wrap my head around this. The lookupImagesWithAsync() should be faster since two images are downloaded in parallel, correct? imageRepository.downloadImage(imagePath) is a suspend function that does its work in withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>)

Thanks, Dominic. so in lookupImages() imageRepository.downloadImage("img-url-2") does not start the download process until imageRepository.downloadImage("img-url-1") returns image1 ?

They are synchronous.

ok either my way of measuring is not correct or i am just running into caching issues which make the results not what i would expect
