Here we see the movement from "Only 200 lines of code! Does 8 jillion requests per second!" to "Does things correctly, works in the real world!". Welcome to life.

Looking at the data, it appears that the performance drops are related to the StackContext feature. This feature is a convenience and not about doing things correctly to work in the real world. Because the very earliest versions of Tornado were used by real websites, it looks like the code that did 8 jillion requests per second worked well enough in the real world.

That's often true, but doesn't appear to be the case here. This was a simple case of making invasive changes without quantifying the performance effects.
