| Issue 78: | Feature request: please, allow parallelization of external commands | |

Some PDF files, especially those that were created by scanning a document, take a lot of time to be processed by pdfsizeopt, since each file is compressed one after the other by pngout etc. If pdfsizeopt could use a program like GNU parallel (already in Debian and in Ubuntu) to "dispatch" the external commands, we could have a tremendous speedup on computers with more than 1 thread/core/etc. If using another script like GNU parallel is not desired (that would avoid reinventing the wheel, at least for the short term), then perhaps using a thread pool for the external commands could prove useful. Thanks.
