The benchmarks at the bottom of the readme show quite an improvement (with a single thread it seems).
I would speculate the performance win is because there is no stack switching and less channels.
I've done lots of event loops in the past (eg hellepoll in c++) and think that the cost of that is on the programmer - keeping track of things, callbacks, state machines and things and avoiding using the stack for state etc is all hard work and easy to mess up.

I am reminded of this post I saw on HN a while ago https://www.mappingthejourney.com/single-post/2017/08/31/epi... Ryan Dahl, creator of node.js, would just use Go today ;)
