There are times when you want to perform a time-consuming task on the web server but not either delay the response to the user on the other end or have the request time out partially completed.

When I was considering how to integrate the Django comments framework into my site, I swear to God that either a lot of the docs that are there now weren't there then, or I must have missed a lot of stuff.

I missed all the useful stuff that's in the docs now for customization.
