POJO Shark is library, so it won't open a new thread to execute process.
If your tool-agent says sleep 20sec Shark will obey, and your
application will too, that's why these process instances were executed 
in sequence :-)

To make it *really* parallel let your application start a new Thread for
those 5 instances, or use Scheduler tool-agent in your xpdl (like
test-Scheduler.xpdl).

hope this helps
