** The three types of multithreading models are many-to-one, one-to-one, and many-to-many.

Threading can be easier to implement and understand, and it works well for I/O-bound tasks despite the GIL.

Async programming can provide better performance and resource utilization for I/O-bound tasks but may be more complex to implement.

For web scraping, async programming often provides more significant performance improvements and is more scalable, especially when dealing with a large number of requests.
