I would recommend to experiment with a number of forks equivalent
to the number of different routers you query ... (within reason)
... if you query 1000 routers you do not want to have 1000 forks,
but maybe 100 or 50 or 20 ... it is realy a mpatter of
communication latency between you and your routers, the ammount of
ram in your machines and the speed of your network ...
