The page rendering works instantly. So after you have returned the chunk of
data, it will be written to the client. Instantly. Even in another thread if you
use Twisted (according to Nir).
(Or it will be cached statically). 

So you may want to handle such defers internally while having the problem of
non-portability to non-Twisted environments.

I do not see any other point or might misunderstand your problem :-)

Kind regards,
Alexander
