Performance degradation after upgrading to Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table to access Azure table storage

We upgraded to the next version of SDK to access our Azure Table storage.

We observed performance degradation of our application after that. We even created test applications with identical usage pattern to isolate it, and still see this performance hit.

We are using .NET Framework code, reading data from Azure table.

Old client: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage - 9.3.2

New client: Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table - 1.0.6

Here is one of the sample tests we tried to run:

public async Task ComparisionTest1()
{
    var partitionKey = CompanyId.ToString();

    {
        // Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table
        var storageAccount = Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table.CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConnectionString);
        var tableClient = Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table.CloudStorageAccountExtensions.CreateCloudTableClient(storageAccount);
        var tableRef = tableClient.GetTableReference("UserStatuses");
        var query = new Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table.TableQuery<Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table.TableEntity>()
                            .Where(Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table.TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("PartitionKey", "eq", partitionKey));
        var result = new List<Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos.Table.TableEntity>(20000);

        var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        var tableQuerySegment = await tableRef.ExecuteQuerySegmentedAsync(query, null);
        result.AddRange(tableQuerySegment.Results);
        while (tableQuerySegment.ContinuationToken != null)
        {
            tableQuerySegment = await tableRef.ExecuteQuerySegmentedAsync(query, tableQuerySegment.ContinuationToken);
            result.AddRange(tableQuerySegment.Results);
        }

        stopwatch.Stop();
        Trace.WriteLine($"Cosmos table client. Elapsed: {stopwatch.Elapsed}");
    }

    {
        // Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage
        var storageAccount = Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount.Parse(ConnectionString);
        var tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
        var tableRef = tableClient.GetTableReference("UserStatuses");
        var query = new Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Table.TableQuery<Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Table.TableEntity>()
                            .Where(Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Table.TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("PartitionKey", "eq", partitionKey));
        var result = new List<Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Table.TableEntity>(20000);

        var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
        var tableQuerySegment = await tableRef.ExecuteQuerySegmentedAsync(query, null);
        result.AddRange(tableQuerySegment.Results);
        while (tableQuerySegment.ContinuationToken != null)
        {
            tableQuerySegment = await tableRef.ExecuteQuerySegmentedAsync(query, tableQuerySegment.ContinuationToken);
            result.AddRange(tableQuerySegment.Results);
        }

        stopwatch.Stop();
        Trace.WriteLine($"Old table client. Elapsed: {stopwatch.Elapsed}");
    }
}

Anyone observed it, any thoughts about it?
