+Nemesis is a prototype [[https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html][asyncio]] profiler which finds blocking
+coroutines through use of [[https://github.com/plasma-umass/coz][causal profiling]]. Nemesis directly measures

+impact of how coroutine optimization has an inpact on the overall
+throughput or latency of tasks scheduled in the event loop.
