I'm going to say no, well not much anyways, unless you have a multi-processor system (If you do have a multiprocessor system forking off as many proccesses as you have processors would be a good thing). When you start forking all you are doing is wasting time switching between contexts, it doesn't create more processor time, it just shares the processor between more processes. I suspect what you really want to do is increase the priority of your process, see the manpage for the unix command nice. The big thing here is the bottle neck probably isn't your program it's syslog blocking while it tries to enter your log.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
