That's reasonable. asyncio is designed for I/O-bound work, so a fair
response to the benchmark is that subjecting it to a CPU-bound stress
test is perhaps missing the point.

I was curious about how much the selector-based event loop might be
influencing the timing, so I tried instrumenting the selector.

class ProfiledSelector(selectors.DefaultSelector):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self._calls = collections.Counter()
    def select(self, timeout=None):
        self._calls['select'] += 1
        return super().select(timeout)
    def register(self, fileobj, events, data=None):
        self._calls['register'] += 1
        return super().register(fileobj, events, data)

selector = ProfiledSelector()
loop = asyncio.SelectorEventLoop(selector)
asyncio.set_event_loop(loop)
loop.run_until_complete(coroutine())
# 499999500000
selector._calls
# Counter({'select': 20, 'register': 1})

Only 20 iterations of the event loop? That doesn't seem unreasonable.
