Yeah this is like completely wrong. You just made all this up, man. Fibers doesn't use Isolates anymore than Node does. Fibers also work on Node 0.4.x (and probably lower), long before Isolates were even introduced into v8.
node-fibers doesn't "implement threading" it uses libcoro, the actual method under the hood is either setjmp/longjmp or ucontext depending on your platform. These are primitives used as pieces of threading in larger systems so they are vaguely similar, but node-fibers doesn't invoke any scheduler, nor does it need locking. Performance is fine.
