Well, deferToThread gives you all kinds of problems re: talking to the 
reactor from threads, so avoid.

You could try it as a cooperator

from twisted.internet import task

@defer.inlineCallbacks
def operation():
   result = yield somesql()
   # n.b. generator expression!
   work = (process(item) for item in result)
   yield task.coiterate(work)
