Just a warning - the bus transactions are serialized via a monitor lock in the CANJaguar driver (at least on the C++ version, as well as in the last public source code I can easily get to of the Java version). Thus threading the transactions won't entirely alleviate any potential for blocking
with respect to one another (that is, if one Jag thread were to block waiting for a bus response all other concurrently executing Jag threads will also block). Of course, it can offer the advantage of allowing the remainder of your code to execute while the Jag thread(s) are tied up.
