I think it depends on where the blocking is occuring. You'll need to
explain what "too large" means. Is the handler reading this large
content from a file and taking too long?

If you have good control over the handler, one way that doesn't
require threads is to use the Soup.Server.pause_message() call and
then have a signal handler call Soup.Server.unpause_message() when the
content is available to send.

The other approach is to look at the chunking interface in
Soup.Message. That lets you feed bits of the response at a time.
