Swift Concurrency Best Practices

Hello everyone, I'm trying to improve my Swift code's performance by utilizing Swift Concurrency. I'm particularly interested in how to best handle long-running operations without blocking the main thread. Any recommendations?

This is a great topic! I've found using `async/await` with `Task`s to be very effective. It allows you to offload time-consuming tasks to background threads and keeps your main thread responsive. Also, consider using `withCheckedContinuation` for more fine-grained control.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely look into that. Are there any common pitfalls I should be aware of when using `async/await`?
