My thoughts: I would use the leaves as "browns" [carbon] in a compost mixed with "greens" [nitrogen] , and let it finish decomposing first. To compost you need both. Otherwise the process of only leaves in your soil decomposing would take a long time, and greatly reduce the nitrogen available to your plants. (I don't think heat would help very much.)
