Deferreds don't do what you think they do. They don't do anything to make your code non-blocking. They only adhere to a contract that something will eventually be returned. The most common use of deferred's to make your code non-blocking is to use .deferToThread() or some other mechanism to make the long running code non-blocking, like spawning a process.
