Yes - but you need more than two cores to show much gain. We're  
already making pretty complete use of two cores in single process  
mode (one CPU for us, one for the test script).

Multiplexing the input isn't nearly as fast as the fork based  
experiment in branches/paa - but the fork based version is very hard  
to wire up to an output formatter.
