You're right, that's what I said I was doing. I was just making the point that 
it's easy to call methods from that thread using callFromThread(), but it's a 
pain to call a method which returns a deferred. Hopefully there's exarkun's 
ThreadWrapper (only in sandbox). Using this, I have some slowdown, but I'm 
not yet sure it's Twisted's fault.
So I was just asking if there was another way of doing it.
