It seems it is the same issue. From the Quasar user manual (
http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/):

Fibers are not meant to replace threads in all circumstances. A fiber
should be used when its body (the code it executes) blocks very often
waiting on other fibers (e.g. waiting for messages sent by other fibers on
a channel, or waiting for the value of a dataflow-variable). For
long-running computations that rarely block, traditional threads are
preferable. Fortunately, as we shall see, fibers and threads interoperate
very well.
