Ah thanks, in which case it probably is wise to use the dynamic spawning
method with a guarunteed amount of 32 processes. (max of 2-3x that or
something along those lines) I guess.
By the way Ive tested this on HTTP backends a little without any obvious
errors, im planning on loading it on a live server later this week for some
real testing. Will this be packaged as a module in the future or do you
think it will be included in the core? I suppose Igor would be best to
answer that question.
