Not quite.  deferToThread() passes the job off to one of the threads
in the reactor's thread pool.  So repeated jobs are likely to reuse
the same threads (and hence database connections).

Depending on the app, you might want to lower the minimum thread pool
size to increase the likelyhood that a connection will be reused.
