Launching several copies of a step to improve the performance of Atrium Integrator

In certain situations, launching multiple copies of a step improves performance. For example, if a step uses a large amount of CPU (such as a JavaScript step) and you have multiple processor cores in your computer, launching multiple copies of the step might improve performance. If a step has to deal with network latencies, such as a database lookup step, launching the same step several times keeps the database busy on different connections, which lowers the latency.
