Review Comment:
   Yes, I think in theory it should be slightly better to do the coalescing 
directly when batches are potentially already in cache & saving partition - 1 * 
wake ups (which are not used).
   
   But it seems (my theory) pushing it upstream might create some parallelism / 
mitigating some skew as also for a slow partition it can do the coalescing in 
parallel.
