Here's an example:, _(*2)

$processor = new ForkProcessor();

$t0 = microtime(true);

$processor->start(new SleepJob(2, $results[]));
$processor->start(new SleepJob(3, $results[]));
$processor->start(new SleepJob(1, $results[]));

$processor->finish();

$t1 = microtime(true);

echo implode("\n", $results), "\n";
echo "\nTotal time: ", $t1 - $t0, " seconds\n";

Here's the output:, _(*3)
