What is the impact of running the coroutines debug agent in production? I find it really useful to do `kill -5` to get insight into the running coroutines, but always see the "do not use in production" warnings.

the debug agent itself needs to grab a stack trace every time you create a coroutine, and probably also when it resumes, which is quite expensive if you have a lot of suspending coroutines

if you also like using the non-agent debug features, those cause a call to `Thread#setName` every single time it changes threads

Thx, sounds like the warnings were accurate :slightly_smiling_face:

You can keep track of the issue in <https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/1379>

If you have concerns about `setName`, please left them in the comments

Oh yeah, I forgot I'm the one that created that issue (and you moved it to GitHub for me) :slightly_smiling_face:
