Running two instances of test application will be a challenge I guess. If it can be done, I think all the cases covered in test app other than crypto would be affected/tested. Test-crypto-perf can be a better option but it may defeat the purpose of test-crypto-perf. Best would be to make l2fwd-crypto compliant with multi process. But still I am ok to have a unit test application.
