execute functions asynchronously
I think it would be better to say spawn asynchronous tasks since execute may imply blocking and there is no utility for that
As actual tasks are executed by event loop

It might be worthwhile to add that System actually has own arbiter and therefore in this example you spawn task on System's arbiter

Because I wanted to add a section on "how to make extra arbiters and assign actors to them", but it seems quite ... uhh, difficult to achieve, and the api is changing a lot between the current version and the next actix version I think.

I don't think user is supposed to create own arbiter at all?
That's why I'm not sure if this section is needed

Hmmm okay. I'll remove this part.
