Get rid of busy yielding #1

Closed dbuenzli closed 2 weeks ago

dbuenzli commented 2 years ago

Busy yielding occurs both in Fiber.{first,either} and during fiber termination while waiting for the spawns to finish. It is, of course, inefficient.

We need to introduce a form of waiter sets for fibers. This won't change the basic API but will likely entail changes in the primitive effects that are exposed.

The new implementation in c9fc5df3695f4b62026fa45a7a62d9ebc541622d no longer does that.
