AsyncOperation - Direct Creation for Async Processing of SDK messages?

I've worked with another ERP/CRM called Netsuite and one thing I remember from using their API was that you could submit API calls either Synchronously or Asynchronously.

So for instance, you could submit a bunch of 100 Create or Update requests to the server, and as the server had bandwidth, it would process those requests Asynchronously and as a consumer of the API, you could query for progress/status of the requests at a point after submitting.

With Dynamics CRM, when I make SDK/API calls using methods on an OrganizationService such as Create or Update, those are executed Synchronously. 

Is it possible to send API requests to CRM in an Asynchronous manner? I imagine sending requests in this manner would allow them to be processed on the Async server and at a lower resource cost than the direct Synchronous requests to CRM.

One thought I had was that I could craft a new instance of an AsyncOperation object and then create that, which would then handle the Asynchronous processing of a request. I played around a bit without luck and there is no formal documentation on using this class this way.

I'm curious if anyone is aware of a way to use the API in an Asynchronous manner or if anyone has any technical thoughts on this.
