Long time ago I was trying double speedup (had 2 cores) by adding second process in ForkedCalls.cpp::callNext, but it was not working correctly and I never get to debug it. But you are right that LoaderQueue needs to be changed, probably by adding additional consumer(s). > By the way, I've sometimes wanted a more aggressive graphics loader.
