Only the weight optimization and a few other routines are parallelized in
phenix.refine (and only on Mac/Linux).  If you're not using weight
optimization, the multiprocessing will make almost no difference in
runtime.  AutoBuild will usually be parallel because it's actually running
multiple independent and slightly different builds and picking the best
results.
