Well, I don't know anything about AppleScript, but...
If AppleScript starts a new Analog process for each call (in a fork-like way),
you should be able to run several processes, each with separate config files
concurrently, provided that (a) none are dependent on previous runs (e.g.
CACHEOUTFILE, CACHEFILE) and (b) you don't try to DNS WRITE the same dns cache
from concurrent processes (this is the only file I know of that would be
locked).
Of course, I'm assuming that each Analog run outputs to a different output
file.
