Not an expert on the subject, but FWIW:

1. This is from 2008
2. Seems to be highly specific to Java
3. The first benchmark essentially measures the overhead of fiber 
context switching and nothing else
4. If I tried to write DFeed using this model, it would have been 
a complete trainwreck (there is too much global state and 
interaction between components to reason about using locks).
