Torcs 1.3.5, compiling for more then 1 core, running without focus

Hello Torcs-User,

Sorry for the subject, it's probably not the best description of my
requests.

First of all I'd like to point out that it was just a question of running
'configure && make && make install' to get the new version to compile
on Mageia 3 Linux with a 3.8.13 kernel on my Asus laptop with a Nvidia GC.

Still there's a question left: Is it possible to compile it to run on more
than one core?

It uses one of eight cores and runs on it with 55 to 60 fps if I race on
E-track-6 for example. I am able to race fluently against 10 or 12
opponents,
but it gets "jumpy" if I try to configure 15 or more opponents at once.

Also I always recognized that the running race stops, if I switch
away from the virtual desktop the visual/window is on.
I guess this is a desired behaviour. 

I sometimes let some robots race against each others and then I  switch to 
some other virtual desktop to work on something else for a minute.
But the race stops if I do that.

Is there a way to change this? I'd like it to run unattended for a while.

Thank you for your time.

Greetings
