A big difference between threads and fibers in Windows is that threads are
preemtively scheduled, while fibers are co-operatively scheduled.
Unfortunately, Windows' fiber implementation has severe limitations.
To get around this I created a library that does real light-weight "fibers".
See here for some documentation I wrote on the subject:
