Javaflow vs Threads

Thread view:

Does anyone has test Javaflow (Continuation for Java)?
http://commons.apache.org/sandbox/javaflow/

I want to know how the performance of Javaflow compare with a
implementation of threads.

With Javaflow there is no thread switch needed. This will improve the
performance. But in the bytecode there will be add some stuff. This
will slow down the performance.

Reading the abstract, I don't think JavaFlow is intended to replace
threads. It is for freezing an application and then restarting some
time later it where it left off. It not only freezes objects as does
serialisation, it freezes the state of the app -- the local variables,
the call stacks etc.
