If the processing is fast, why would you go to the complexity and overhead of 
switching to another thread to process the request?

You should also read the servlet spec, in particular SRV.2.3.3.3:

"Implementations of the request and response objects are not guaranteed to be 
thread
safe. This means that they should only be used within the scope of the request 
handling
thread.

"References to the request and response objects should not be given to objects
executing in other threads as the resulting behavior may be nondeterministic. If
the thread created by the application uses the container-managed objects, such 
as
the request or response object, those objects must be accessed only within the
servlet's service life cycle and such thread itself should have a life cycle 
within
the life cycle of the servlet's service method because accessing those objects
after the service method ends may cause undeterministic problems."

The illogical behavior you're asking for simply isn't allowed.
