New question #296122 on Duplicity:
https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/296122

Can multiple gpg processes be run concurrently so that all cpu cores are used rather than just one?

I realise if this is one large encrypted stream then you're stuck with whatever gpg and the algorithm it's using are capable of.
Is there any chance to design duplicity so that multiple streams can be processed simultaneously to take advantage of modern multicore processors.

Thanks.

I'm using the following versions:
