As long as every non-dividable bunch of your CPU computation won't
last for too long :) Because non-interruptable CPU computation can
also block the event loop like blocking IO. If some of your CPU
computation operation may block for long, you can manually add
ngx.sleep(0.001) in between to give a chance to the nginx event loop
to run.
