The issue I'm seeing is that the ~million DeferredSemaphore.run() calls are
inefficient; it's independent of list/generator.

First off, have you read http://jcalderone.livejournal.com/24285.html ?

I don't see anything in task.Cooperator to limit the # of
simultaneously-running tasks.  Am I missing something?  I guess,
technically, could write my own scheduler that limits the # of
simultaneously-running tasks.  But, then task.Cooperator isn't really doing
anything useful for me.
