Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The JSON frontend currently executes test suites in a for loop. For large datasets, this can be quite slow. It would be good if we could execute tests in parallel to speed things up a bit, although it is desirable to preserve the order in which results are presented.
I believe the easiest way to do this would be to have the msg object be returned, and then we could just use multiprocessing and pool.map.

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the JSON frontend's loop over test suites and tracing how the msg object is produced and consumed. Check existing test-execution tests, if present, then verify parallel execution preserves result order and does not change results for large datasets.
