10.3: Run multiple package installs simultaneously

The 10.3 version of the Installer application can handle multiple simultaneous installs at the same time. Simply open mutiple .pkg files (you don't even have to do it at the same time), and Installer will properly handle things so that core system components aren't updated by two different things at the same time. If you install things this way, you don't have to sit through "Optimising System Performance" more than once.
