        Yup.

        This is a production ready survived rollout in use right at
this very moment solution.  I don't see why you think it'd fail
critically.  Forking off helper processes that you communicate with
through pipes is the tried and true Unix Way to create parallelism.
You can even isolate the code handling the DBI chunk into its own
seperate program that you can unit test independently.
