What's your goal with the multiple processes ? 
To work around an OS limit on the max number of
descriptors per process ? Or some other thing ?

(Modern OS versions allow large numbers of descriptors
per process, BTW, and they have threads which allow
exploitation of SMP hardware in a single process).
