FOCUS is not multi-threaded (which would be a cool new feature), however, you can by putting each TABLEF in a separate .fex. Then create 2 Report Caster jobs that start at the same time. As long as there are agents available, both should run at the same time.

The way to do this is in Developer Studio; go to the Layout Painter and outline where the first report goes, then select Reference report, and reference the first report, then outline where second report goes, and select Reference report and name the second report. At execution time you refer to the HTML form, and when it comes up it will issue two tasks to the Report Server, and these will run in parallel.
We harp and complain about lack of release and platform then when it is provided, I don't see it. Sorry about that.
Anyway, one can still do what I suggested. Instead of using RC, just use the VMS scheduler to run these as batch jobs. You still have to make sure each job has it own temp folder. We do this with Linux all the time.
