That's a really interesting thought...  I don't think it should be the 
default, because having 3 JVMs running with less than about 256 MB of 
memory will likely kill performance, but for people with plenty of RAM 
to spare, that could be a nice speedup.

Not exactly high priority, but it could be a cool side project.  I 
wonder how messy the synchronization issues would be.
