I wrote the docs. :) . It really does provide blocking calls inside a coroutine. The coroutine can totally block on a non-socket resource (CPU calculation, disk IO in case you aren't using aio) without effecting other coroutines.

I do agree that actor models implemented at the OS level is much cleaner, but when it comes to CPU hogging sections, messages queues are not the answer.
