That's a really good idea to quickly test if parallel loading has
merit. A quick test on my machine (i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4) and the
MuseScore_General.sf3 (ca. 40MB) Soundfont on SSD with the following
test script:
--------------
#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq $1`; do
./fluidsynth -a file ./MuseScore_General.sf3 &
done
wait
--------------
$ time ./test.sh 1
real 0m6,110s
user 0m5,829s
sys 0m0,172s
$ time ./test.sh 2
real 0m6,658s
user 0m12,615s
sys 0m0,344s
$ time ./test.sh 3
real 0m8,884s
user 0m23,626s
sys 0m0,544s
$ time ./test.sh 4
real 0m10,444s
user 0m38,182s
sys 0m0,851s
With each test the number of used cores in the test was maxed out at
100% CPU load.
So it looks like parallel loading would be beneficial.
Cheers
