If your greenlet is not yielding somewhere, then it is in fact worse than 
standard threads in Python. Due to the GIL, only one thread can effectively run 
at a time. If your job is very CPU-intensive, then you need to use 
multiprocessing you make use of the other cores on your multi-core CPU.

You really shouldn't have requests that take this long. You need to redesign 
this, e.g. by sending an email to the user with a download URL when the PDF is 
ready, or by delegating the job to a task server and displaying a status page 
with some ajax call that polls the progress of your job.
