Hi Luis - 

This is currently in the develop branch and will be available in an Autopsy 3.1 release coming in the next few weeks.  We're really excited about it.

Each pipeline would process a different file, picked up from a shared list of files to process. Autopsy could start N pipelines by default, where N is the number of processor cores in the system, so it will take full advantage of high concurrent hardware available these days. I think this would result in great processing speed ups.
