    The thread used for your long running process comes from I/O thread pool (request thread is then returned to the request thread pool). When all your PageAsyncTasks finish, ASP.Net gets back a request thread from the request thread pool.

    So the workflow is basically this: request thread -> any number of I/O threads -> request thread.
