I've been try to figure out what the best practice is for watir regarding running a number of tests in parallel. So far, other then deploying multiple machines and allocating "browser time" to a group of tests and managing that, I haven't had an amazing amount of luck.
Initially, I thought - hey, we can just run some headless X11 instances (on the same machine) with a virtual frame buffer and just assign firewatir specific ports to connect to - but I haven't found anything in the api yet that would allow that. An extension could be written, but before I undertake any kind of work to do that I was wondering if anyone had solved this problem. I'm aware of the firefox 2.0 work with the jssh plugin that utilizes multiple profiles to accomplish a similar goal, but I'd prefer to be able to utilize any browser version, etc. Worst case, running a number of vm's on the same machine *would* work, but you incur some extra overhead obviously.
