Throttling, Multiple client requests, threading in node js with express

I am trying to write a simple API manager in Node using express.

I have registered a simple route and I responded after 10 seconds to every alternate requests. I suppose I should get immediate response from every other requests which I am not getting. Even requests gets hanged as it should be, but odd requests should give me response immediately which I am not receiving. Kindly guide how can to do that.

    var express = require('express');
    var apiRoutes = express.Router();

    var i=0;
    apiRoutes.get('/',function(req,res){
      i++;
      if(i%2==0)
      {
        setTimeout(function(){res.json({message:"i responsed after 5"})},5000);
      }
      else
      {
        res.json({message:"i responsed immediately"});
      }

    });


    module.exports = apiRoutes;

After some searching, I've found this answer. So it appears it's the browser, and not the express code.

To test this, hit the server from your terminal (curl localhost:3000) and you can see it behave as you expect!

Alternatively, use this line apiRoutes.get('/:number', function(req,res){, then from your browser hit localhost:3000/1 and localhost:3000/2 and you'll see the behavior you expect as well.
