Getting MVC mini-profiler timings into async tasks

Question

I have a long running SQL query inside a page that I\'ve sped up by using an async task:

using System.Threading.Tasks;
...

var asyncTask = new Task

What you can do is to create a new profiler and attach it to the web one.

var newProfiler = new MiniProfiler("- Other task (discard this time)", ProfileLevel.Verbose);
MiniProfiler.Current.AddProfilerResults(newProfiler);

var asyncTask = new Task(() =>
{
    using (newProfiler.Step("Async!"))
    {
        Thread.Sleep(500);
        using (newProfiler.Step("Async 2!"))
        {
            Thread.Sleep(1000);
        }
    }
});

asyncTask.Start();

The new profiler will have wrong times in its declaration but the steps are gonna be ok.
