useful advice, thanks everyone.

I wonder why continuations didn't catch up. continuations "blocking" would be of no issue. I/O and even sleep(x) would be possible with no overhead.

    I have actors such like *AccountProcessor* and *AccountPersistor*,
    AccountPersistor is a child of AccountProcessor and at its
    creation I pass a different dispatcher, assuming your code is in
    Scala here is better explained:

        I have some code that will take some time to execute. This
        code runs in a few steps with each step "blocking" for some
        time to store data into files.

        I am thinking in creating a new actor which can receive 1
        message for each step. Will the block part affect only that
        actor or will other actors be affected (since threads are
        reused in the actorsystem)?
