I actually don't know if I need to know this just yet, I'm waiting on an email.

I have a tri-core computer, not the AMD thing, but an Intel quad-core with something screwy going on with Ubuntu. I'd like to assign a bunch of NewPGen tasks to the computer, and as soon as one completes the next one starts up. So, if I had ten assignments, the first 3 would start up immediately, then as each finished, the next unstarted would would be assigned right after it.

Would this be difficult to implement?
