The reason I began wondering about this is that I like a particular
image-gallery generating tool called `imageindex'
(http://www.edwinh.org/imageindex/)
Unfortunately, it processes all given pictures sequentionally ignoring my
three other cores.
The tool is written in Perl, but I would consider rewriting it in Tcl or
Python, if the language made it easy to parallelize loops...

Linda URL does not open... I'll look into Parallel Python, but it is
an "execution server", which is a rather different approach from OpenMP's,
which I'm more familiar with.
Thanks!
