# This script launches three vanguard components in parallel, logging to
# syslog, and ideally using pypy.
#
# This prevents vanguards from bottlenecking on a single CPU core.
#
# However, the bandguards instance may still require high CPU, since it
# listens to many events. Let us know if this script helps or does not help
# by commenting on: https://github.com/mikeperry-tor/vanguards/issues/62
