Right, and that points out one of the main issue with using coroutine  
(e.g. Copas) as a substitute for multi threading/processing: it just  
doesn't pan out.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." I went down that road  
of implementing a coroutine based  HTTP engine:

To make a long story short... as long as any of the coroutine doesn't  
do anything meaningful, it's very fast :P
