流方式实现多线程采集问题，请高手分析下
采集内容速度慢，我一直很头大，最近在研究多线程采集，下面贴出比较代码，有两个问题，一是获取的结果长度有点不一致；二是效率是不是还不够高？大伙帮忙分析，测试！

PHP code

------解决方案--------------------
你可以尝试 curl_multi_.... 并发执行
这样可尽可能的减少 php 指令，至于楼上两位说的问题。绝不是php所能解决的

------解决方案--------------------
当然，file_get_contents()是阻塞型的，所以如果是执行多个抓取任务，当然会慢。
而socket_*(), fsockopen(), stream_*()都是非阻塞的。
------解决方案--------------------
慢到什么程度? 

试下加上这个:

$context = stream_context_create(array('http' => array('header'=>'Connection: close')));
file_get_contents(".....",false,$context);
