[Orca-users] Re: Orca using multiple CPUs

[Jesse Becker]

Yeah, I figured that I could fire up multiple instances, but I was hoping
that there was a way for the main orca.pl script automagically divide the
various bits of work it needs to do, and fork off a given number of
processes to handle it.  Maybe I'll try to see what I can do (no promises
though :-/)
