### Describe the issue
The documenation [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/http-configuration.html) seems very confusing.
The AWS Java 2.x SDK offers many different http client alternatives. Two of which are the:
- Apache-based sync HTTP client
- AWS CRT-based async HTTP client
To help me understand the difference between the Sync and Async, I was trying to understand the differences described in the AWS documentation, as linked above.
When browsing their recommendations as to which to use, I found the following very peculiar:
> The Apache-based sync HTTP client is recommended for "low latency over high throughput", while the AWS CRT-based async HTTP client is recommended for "high throughput over low latency".
How on earth could the Apache-based sync HTTP client have a lower latency than one of the Async HTTP clients? I would expect the latency to be based on network latency and for that it's completely irrelevant which client (whether sync or async) you use.
Also, how could an Async client have a higher throughput than a sync HTTP client, that also doesn't make sense to me? I would expect the opposite because the sync client will busy wait until the response is available, while the async will go run off do something else in the meantime, and therefore might not be ready to handle the response right when it arrives.
I've also asked this [on stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77280280/understanding-aws-sdk-java-2-x-async-vs-sync-http-clients), and I haven't any responses to my question yet.

Beitragsleitfaden
Rechercherichtung
Beginne mit der verlinkten AWS SDK Java-Seite zur HTTP-Konfiguration und überprüfe die Formulierung rund um die Apache-basierten synchronen und AWS CRT-basierten asynchronen Clients. Vergleiche die Empfehlungen zu Latenz und Durchsatz mit den Fragen des Issues; die Arbeit ist abgeschlossen, wenn die Dokumentation klar erklärt, was diese Empfehlungen bedeuten und warum sich die Client-Auswahl unterscheidet.
