Multithreading

[ghost]

As was requested. I previously said I didn't know how or that I didn't think you could, but one search proved that it is possible. I'll at least look into it. I don't want to have to rely on a PHP extension for a Grav plugin though. I want it to work out of the box.

I'm not sure what is exactly meant by multithreading, but I added Rolling Curl to vacuum through my pages fairly quickly a while back.

I don't have any benchmarks, let's just say it feels 20x faster (dependent on how many connections you want simultaneously). Single pages complete in split seconds.

@rymdluo thank you for this! That's precisely what is meant by multithreading. I'll plan to implement this.

@rymdluo I'm under the impression that it's bad etiquette to store someone else's library within your project.

Since Grav users should not be required to have or use Composer, though, I don't see any workaround other than to store the rolling-curl library within this repo.

Also, I looked at a whole bunch of rolling-curl variations that have been done over the last several years, but in the end I found that the one you suggested was more or less the easiest and most up to date so that's the one I'll plan to use.

@BarryMode I'm not a professional coder so I can't say about the industry. But a fork of that library mentioned that it was under the Apache license.

Yes, I tried a bunch of other rolling-curls before settling on this.

@rymdluo, if you want to push any of your code, feel free. Otherwise, I'll get to it eventually :) Sounds like you've made several modifications.

Thanks for the invite to do so. I'll see if I can spend some time on it in the next week since the code I hold is based on a rather old fork.

I implemented this with v0.8.0 and set a max files at one time limit to 20. Will probably add additional things to the generation text like maybe a progress bar and some other data like file size or time of success. Not much point in a progress bar, though, when the pages generate so fast.
