Actually I really like the idea behind deferred, its just not the
easiest to read and understand for others, and I don't want to be the
only one maintaining my code.

That being said 'yield=time-consuming' doesn't make sense to me. I'm
using twisted (and AMP) for communication, not to offload processing,
and some of the operations would be near-instant in a threaded context
(obviously with the reactor running it has to wait till it gets picked
up).
