Why don't use a pool or multiple processes to publish? #16

Hi! Why don't use a pool or multiple processes to send the message to apns? Every process has one connection. Will it handle more requests per second if use multiple processes(connections)?

The primary reason for only having a single publisher is mostly because we don't need to push more than 50k RPC calls per second, and I know a single publisher can do that easily. In most systems, the overhead before the transport and after the transport dwarfs the actual transportation by quite a lot. Hence, we kind-of decided a single publisher was fast enough for our use.
