Increase max sessions about xlsxgrep HOT 6 CLOSED

Maybe it's an idea to add function that start multiple threads

from xlsxgrep.

I guess multiple threads is not going to work since XLSX is very heavy on memory for some reason.

$ dmesg -T| grep -E -i -B100 'killed process'
[Mon Jan 2 14:37:27 2023] Out of memory: Killed process 347179 (xlsxgrep) total-vm:30210216kB, anon-rss:30086148kB, file-rss:2228kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:1000 pgtables:59176kB oom_score_adj:0

xlsxgrep is not session limited, you can run as many sessions as your system can handle.
There might some optimization can be done to increase the speed but not too much because as you already figured out xlsx files can be very heavy on system resources sometimes even with native processing applications and there's not much can be done at the moment.
Anyway, I'll perform some test when I find some time and see.

Haha yes I see. 28GB RAM for 3 xlsxgrep sessions. With this little sessions it takes me a long time to get through all files. Anyway, thank you for the tool, I couldn't do my work without!

Yeah, 28 GB RAM is way too much. This memory issue is actually related with issue #13 you reported already.
I will hopefully provide a fix for this soon.

Memory issues are now fixed in new version.
