# forkoff does *NOT* spawn processes in batches, waiting for each batch to
# complete.  rather, it keeps a certain number of processes busy until all
# results have been gathered.  in otherwords the following will ensure that 3
# processes are running at all times, until the list is complete. note that
# the following will take about 3 seconds to run (3 sets of 3 @ 1 second).
