You probably want to mention here what the motiviation is then. Do you see a performance improvement, if so, is it significant?

The performance improvement exists but it's very subtle as it won't be noticed unless we have a lot of asynchronous operations taking place at the same time, something that, on the other hand, is very likely to happen with complex web pages.

I think even an small improvement worths the change as it's very simple but no strong feelings. At the same time it also seems more correct to issue the notification there than in a stream closing callback.

I definitely agree that this patch is worthwhile. It should be fine to just mention this performance improvment in the ChangeLog, so that those reading later can understand the motivation for the change. :)
