Mallos

Mallos is a multiprocess spider, inspired by Alex Kritikos' Patu, that splits the work of IO bound tasks and CPU bound tasks into different processes. IO processes fetch urls and place them into a queue for processing. The processing consists of parsing the html, extracting the links, and is executed by the parent process.
