Parallel starting is not guaranteed to be an improvement. Starting a whole pile of processes that are I/O bound during initialisation (think squid or some databases) may be worse than starting them one at a time. Likewise, a whole pile of processes that are CPU bound will just thrash the scheduler. (Though parallel starting of I/O and CPU bound processes should be a win). >Sidenote: Even if there's no significant speedup, the possibility to >start things in parallel should be provided, this would allow more >experimentation (at all respectively later). Agreed. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
