Sure, if you do it right <g>.
View the whole task as a multiuser scenario,
add a "lDone" flag to your record
add recordlocking to your app
and you can run even the same exe multiple times on one multicore or many networked machines.
That way it is abstracted into n-way, whereas you way would require (minimal) coding for quad core already.
Each process will be awarded CPU time distributed according OS priciples, perhaps "advised" via API or task manager.
