By "server" I mean my application's API, by "client" I mean someone else that will go and attach callbacks to deferreds I will return. I guess the question is, what is the best way to guard my application against callbacks that are doing a lot of work. But probably I'm confused by conflating the neglecting read() loop with starving the reactor.

It might be there's no way to do guarantee something like that, so it might be just that everyone should be careful about this.

I don't think you can stop callers of a function doing silly things with the return value.
