Exactly. It's still a bug in the coro patch, since it shouldn't impact 
performance that way.

I thought that maybe you were refering to a measurement with indy that 
showed the better numbers.
But I guess it wouldn't have been a sudden decline in performance 
anyway, since it's probably not one specific use of indy that exposes 
the coro performance regression, but all of them together.
