A worker is definitely being used. However, the behavior you are seeing is happening because your web browser is reusing the same connection to issue the second request. If you execute multiple curl commands you should see processing concurrently.

When I send request simultaneously from two browser tabs, first request is retrieved after 5 seconds as expected, but the second after 10 seconds, which means that IO thread was blocked until first request was completed.
