Not the OP but typically you resort to these tactics when you want to shave the last ms of the server's response time, and/or get that last 1000 requests/s/core performance. You have a "fast path" that is simple and event driven and hand off operation processing to regular threads for the (less frequent) more complex operations.

So you're not missing anything.
