UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

HI All ,

Pardon me for asking some very basic questions,
I would be grateful if someone can help.

I am trying to execute a shell script which runs multiple processes in background. It includes various operations like copying , DB operations etc etc.

Now problem is that the complete script execution is taking a long long time, While we have optimized the DB part , I am on the lookout for other culprits.

Iam executing the script on T5K server . When executing multiple processes in background concurrently ....
1) Are all the processes allocated to a single CPU or multiple CPU ?
2) Can there be a possibility that a lot of time is wasted in scheduling the processes ?
