Then Artyom should explain why matching ^webapi$ and "^index$" works,
but ^webapi$ and ^(.*)$ doesn't. Logically, the regular expression
defined first should be the one evaluated first.

I'm curious now, because synchronous application should have a higher
performance than asynchronous. Synchronous application is designed to
utilize multiple CPUs/cores in a non-blocking way. The 2nd link even
recommends to dispatch any having lifting from an async app to a sync app.

So it boils down to this - if you need long polling or process any
server-side events, use an async app.

I don't know what exactly your WebAPI does, but by the sounds of it,
most of the work should be done synchronously.

Generally APIs are synchronous (request->response cycle) but yours may
be different.
