The curl_multi is probably the most effective way, using straight PHP. Another option would be to spawn several jobs, assuming unix/linux, and wait for them to get done. It doesn't give you very good error handling (well, none at all actually!) but would let you run multiple indexing jobs at once.
Visit http://us.php.net/shell_exec and look at the 'class exec' contributed note about halfway down the page. It'll give you an idea of how to easily spawn multiple jobs. If you're using PHP5, the proc_open function may be another way to go. proc_open was available in 4, but there were a number of extra parameters and controls made available in 5. http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.proc-open.php An adventurous soul could combine the two concepts in to one class to manage pipes communication between multiple child processes effectively.
