Parallel Process with readers - pcsc-lite

Hello

I have a Java system developed to record some smart cards and actually I am using it on Windows, but now I am looking forward to switch it to Linux, because some problems with USB smart card readers that I had, and to work with it I am using the pcsc-lite, that works very well.

But looking at some test results, I checked that the time of process on Linux is greater than on Windows, and looks like the reason is because the "parallel" process of windows, that doesn't happen on Linux when two or more readers are used. In Linux the commands are not send at the same time, they are synchronized, increasing the process time of whole process.

Is it a normal situation? Is there a way to work totally in parallel process?

I am using the OpenSuse 12.3 Linux with pcsc-lite 1.8.8, and the reader driver is a ccid compatible.

Thanks in advance.
