It took hours and ended up with nothing (probably due to memory leaking). Is there anyway to make it faster?
This is what the 'nproc' argument does - you should use as many processors as you have available. If you can distribute it across a queuing system, even better. (The GUI can set this up for you semi-automatically if you have Sun Grid Engine, but it's possible on the command line too - check the documentation for details.)
Now that new versions of SGE will no longer be free thanks to Oracle's purchase, have you considered adding support for a queueing system that is free and open-source, such as Torque? -- Thanks, Donnie Donald S.
