Either you're misreading me or I'm misreading you, because your facts seem to 
*exactly* corroborate what I said.  26 -> 35 -> 44 is pretty much an 
arithmetic progression, and it's exactly in the direction I mentioned 
(microthreads -> co-routines -> generators), so what difference do you see?

Of course my 2/3 number is a guess.  60 - 70 total people in the room strikes 
my memory rightly.  Anyone else?
