I've gone through what you said, and here are my results:
- Child_process is slow to startup (30 ms) and consumes 10 MB base since
its a whole new V8 instance. Maybe if these are started and not stopped
and used alongside a job queue it could work. But it cannot work like
"async function calls" where you start one for each small calc you need
to do.
- WebWorkers seem to be an HTML5 integration API, and extra bloat is not
needed
- Cannot find anything like "backgrounder"
- Gearman-node seems more suited to longer running jobs, and not 1 sec
tasks.
- Resque seems to be a reliable queue, should one be needed. --

Currently I'll just run my calc on the main CPU and see what happens.
Any ideas anybody?
- Should I use gearman?
- Or should I go with child_process since I currently have the task code
also written in NodeJS, and not C++.

Yes, you can execute them in child_process. Also where may be already
existing modules, try look for maintained forks of "webworkers" or
"backgrounder".
Also you can use queues: kue or geaman-node
