Comment (by ryandesign):

 The curl check is probably already as fast as it can get, since it's just
 checking the response code from an http request to a server on the same
 gigabit network.

 What about the rest? Each tcl script we run, and we run several for each
 subport, has to start tclsh and initialize the ports system. Is there a
 way we can initialize the ports system just once per subport and get all
 the information we need?

 We have `$(sysctl -n hw.activecpu)` CPU cores. Is there a way we can check
 that many ports at the same time?
