“任务”的名称应该是“延迟”。延迟——因为它不会延迟现有的任务，而是创建一个新的“延迟”任务，另一方面可以等待，并可能导致当前任务主体挂起。它本质上是一个Timer，但没有回调/主体。

Awaiting a delayed task creates a new item in async message queue and doesn't block any threads. The same thread where the await is called will proceed working on other tasks should there be any, and will return to the await point after the timeout (or when the preceding items in queue are complete). Tasks under the hood use Threads - there can be many Tasks scheduled and executed in a single thread. On the other hand if you happen to call Thread.Sleep() the thread will block, i.e. it will be out of play for the amount of time asked and won't process any async messages from the queue.

在。net中有两种主要的并行方法。旧版本有线程、线程池等。而新的，基于任务，async/await, TPL。根据经验，不要将这两个领域的api混合使用。

我想补充一点。 实际上,任务。Delay是一种基于定时器的等待机制。如果您查看源代码，您会发现一个Timer类的引用，它是造成延迟的原因。另一方面，线程。Sleep实际上使当前线程休眠，这样你只是阻塞和浪费了一个线程。在异步编程模型中，如果你想在延迟后发生某些事情(延续)，你应该总是使用Task.Delay()。

我的观点,

Task.Delay()是异步的。它不会阻塞当前线程。您仍然可以在当前线程中执行其他操作。它返回一个Task返回类型(Thread.Sleep()不返回任何东西)。您可以检查该任务是否已完成(使用task。IsCompleted属性)，稍后在另一个耗时的过程之后。

Thread.Sleep()没有返回类型。它是同步的。在线程中，除了等待延迟完成之外，您实际上不能做任何事情。

至于在现实生活中的使用，我已经编程15年了。我从未在产品代码中使用过Thread.Sleep()。我找不到任何用例。 也许是因为我主要从事web应用程序开发。

如果当前线程被杀死，你使用thread。Sleep并且它正在执行，那么你可能会得到一个ThreadAbortException。 与任务。延迟您总是可以提供一个取消令牌并优雅地终止它。这就是我选择Task.Delay的原因之一。参见http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/21177.visual-c-thread-sleep-vs-task-delay.aspx

我也同意在这种情况下效率不是最重要的。

值得一提的是Thread.Sleep(1)将更快地触发GC。

This is purely based mine & team member observations. Lets assume that you have service which creates new task every for specific request (approx. 200-300 ongoing) and this task contains many weak references in flow. The task is working like state machine so we were firing the Thread.Sleep(1) on change state and by doing so we managed to optimize utilization of memory in the application - like I said before - this will makes GC to fire faster. It doesn't make so much difference in low memory consumption services (<1GB).
