Hi Joel,

Not easily for sure.  It would take a huge rewrite of the code.

For now, consider breaking up your servers into logical groups and
using different Orca configuration files to select each group via
a regular expression in the find_files setting.

This isn't ideal, but for now, it's the only way.

Given you work for a financial instution, and I hear they through
a lot of money at hardware to keep on the latest edge, maybe they
would be willing to fund a threaded version of Orca :)

Best,
Blair
