Getting started with asynchronous PHP using ReactPHP
ReactPHP provides the Child Process utility component as a means to make non-blocking I/O calls. This integrates operating system calls, such as curl or cat, into the event loop so that we can attach a callback function for when specific events happen in the operating system calls we executed.

What is best and easiest library (packagist) for async process in PHP?
Easiest solution is https://github.com/reactphp/child-process in my opinion which comes as a composer pkg.

Getting started with asynchronous PHP using ReactPHP
ReactPHP has various components, such as the event loop, promise, and streams. When you install ReactPHP, these components and a few more are installed, so you don’t have to install the separately.

Where does PHP being single threaded affect performance and can anything be done to make it better?
For that things PHP usually uses external help in form of queues in Redis or other DBs. And then one process which spawn other ones. Did you heard about Event Loop, pcntl_fork() and php-cli from crontab? That solves the whole problem in the world before Fibers.

Does PHP really not support asynchronous calls natively?
It can run without an extension, but for best performance, one of libuv, libev or libevent should be installed to accelerate performance, otherwise it uses stream_select() which doesn't require an extension but has worse performance. See https://github.com/reactphp/event-loop#loop-implementations

What is best and easiest library (packagist) for async process in PHP?
which package? is it reactphp/event-loop?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing child-process and event-loop you can also consider the following projects:
async - Easily run code asynchronously
react-fiber - ReactPHP + ext-fiber
socket - Async, streaming plaintext TCP/IP and secure TLS socket server and client connections for ReactPHP.
React - Event-driven, non-blocking I/O with PHP.
ReactPHP Promises Testing - PHPUnit assertions for testing ReactPHP promises
PHP-watcher - Monitor for any changes in your php application and automatically restart it (suitable for async apps).
excelize - Go language library for reading and writing Microsoft Excel™ (XLAM / XLSM / XLSX / XLTM / XLTX) spreadsheets
