Guys, I'm glad to say that the multiprocessing feature for w3af is almost ready. Javier has been working VERY HARD on implementing it and has overcome numerous bugs/errors/annoyances in the path. His latest measurements indicate that the scan time will be reduced SIGNIFICANTLY (around 40%) in the cases where all grep plugins are enabled. It seems that all this will be achieved with low impact on memory use (still testing that).
