For this reason, if your program is truly embarassingly parallel, it is<br>
usually preferrable performance-wise to run multiple processes<br>
concurrently than use pure parallelism (a sad truth in a harsh reality,<br>
in my opinion).<br>

You're right, we could have separate front-end processes just doing the validation (indeed they could even be distributed across the network). I don't think we'll do that just yet, particularly not when 8.2's results are so promising, but it sounds a useful idea to keep in the toolbox.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
