It fits with what I described in my reply to Damien.


This is bad, since the whole purpose of using multiple readers
for me is to speed up heavy load operations like RSA signature
or reading out X.509 certificates.

Maybe an HSM would be a better solution as it would also have faster communication protocols.


Is there a way to get the readers to really work simultaneously?

Technically yes, but it might not be immediate. The driver has to be modified/checked to make sure that critical sections of the code are protected from being altered by 2 threads in the same time (especially for opening and closing connections).
