Description

Hi,

I'm wondering if would be possible to execute a benchmark group in parallel? It can be quite slow sometimes when running a large benchmark suite on a single core. However, I'm not sure if executing the benchmarks in the different processes would interfere with each other and cause the result inaccurate. But I guess if one can guarantee each benchmark task only use a single thread, and the number of processes is less than the number of physical cores then it won't interfere with each other?
