Cool tutorial! And hello from the other side of the pond (Brisbane here)!

A question - this is spawning quite a few Tokio tasks, as it creates one per iteration of the loop, and typically there are thousands of ports (your default is 1024). Once CIDR is introduced, it becomes a nested loop, presumably spawning even more tasks. Is there any performance penalty for creating so many tasks, or are they quite lightweight?
