No, you were right in your previous comment...

This speedup will mostly affect code compiled with Cython. See the following
example:
@asyncio.coroutine
def coro():
yield from ...
Cython will compile "coro" into a function, that returns a generator-like
object. "asyncio.coroutine" will wrap this function, and, therefore, the
optimized by Cython generator-like object will be wrapped too (to provide an
__await__ method).
This patch provides a faster wrapper for such generator-like objects. Since the
whole point of using Cython is to squeeze as much performance as possible, I
think it's essential to have this optimization in 3.5 (or at least in 3.5.1 as
Guido suggested).
It's a lot of C code, I agree. I only can say that I did my best to write very
extensive unittests, and so I hope that it won't cause any trouble.
