Guys,
With Javier we've been thinking about using the multiprocessing
[1] module in order to exploit all the hardware power current
computers currently have. In the current state, w3af consumes
(usually) 90% of one CPU, while 3 other cores (given that you are
lucky enough to have a quad core) are at 0% usage. This gives us
errors similar to [0], which we would love to fix. In the future, if
you find a bug that you think relates to this issue, please set the
"multiprocessing" tag to it.
Also related... someone has experience with this module? Any
comments? Hints? Should we spawn 1 process per processor? More? Less?
