[linux-elitists] Recommendation: GNU Parallel

GNU Parallel buffers the output of running jobs and only prints them
when a job has been completed. For memory reasons the order is not
preserved unless you ask for it. ("--keep-order")

In case you don't care for the output at all, you can disable caching
and speedup the process with "--ungroup".
