Django Channels AuthMiddleware question

Hi all,

The channels authentication documentation (https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/authentication.html) shows using the channels AuthMiddleware with an AsyncConsumer.

Now, my problem is that all session backends in Django are blocking.
I know that the user is only retrieved lazily but from what I understand this only means that instead of the blocking call happening during the instantiation of the application in daphne.Server.create_application it will happen in the AsyncConsumer.
Either way the call will be made in the event loop.
Are we not stopping the event loop for the first time every connection accesses request.user?
I'm sure I'm missing something here.

Thanks!
