Launching a BG job takes several seconds all by itself in my experience. So it would in fact take more time depending on how many URLs and the sites involved. Plus passing complex data to and from BG jobs is limited to objects that can be pickled, as I recall.
So while it's technically possible, it would be complicated and not necessarily an improvement.
