The main diffenerce between the Async subprocess and start process is the way they use the engines.

The async subprocess will usethe same engine as the parent and hence if the subprocess needs more processing and hence resouces, the same engine will be loaded.Whereas the start process balances between the engines(runs on separate engine than the parent). Hence we can be carefree about single engine getting the whole load.
