I am "spining" the reactor to "resolve" all deferreds involved in a StringTransport conversation or in an DeferredList or other kind of chained deferreds. These are what I call "integration tests" and they only use memory, no external I/O. If you're only using StringTransport or Clock, there is no need for a real reactor. Deferreds have nothing to do with the reactor as such.
In most of my calles of result = self.getDeferredResult(deferred), the deferred's callback() method was already called and I just want to resolve the callbacks chain.
Again, that does not require the reactor. E.g.:
d = Deferred() d.callback(1) l = [] d.addCallback(l.append) l [1]
You might also want to look at the latest version of http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/trial.html, in particular the new successResultOf and similar APIs.
