It'll utilize all cards for gathering data, which means that
in theory (*) you should get the data faster.

(*) I've a bug to fix, where a change that attempted to  make things
better means that in the UK at least you won't get the data any faster.

If your muxes all only carry their own data it'll be faster with more
than one card looking for data.
