I think if there were, we'd know about it.
The design challenge, of course, is making sure that the synchronisation
overheads don't swamp the gains. A common experience with parallel execution
is that only 30% of the run time turns out to be parallelisable - for
example, it's hard to see how you could do the XML parsing, tree building,
and result tree serialisation in parallel.
