Q68. How does it affect the performance of a web application when an execution
path contains a CPU-heavy operation, such as calculating a long Fibonacci
sequence?
As Node.js is asynchronous, this is handled by a libuv and a threadpool. The
performance will not notably degrade.
 As the application code runs asynchronously within a single thread, the execution
will block, accepting no more requests until the operation is completed.
As Node.js is asynchronous, this is handled by a threadpool and the performance
will not notably degrade.
The current thread will block until the execution is completed and the operating
system will spawn new threads to handle incoming requests. This can exhaust
the number of allowed threads (255) and degrade performance over time.
