Ok. Does "for a great deal" mean mean the startup sequence is parallel 
where it can be? Just two "threads" would half the time, wouldn't it? I've 
also seen some scripts that changes the order of the sequence to achieve 
higer speed. Are there perhaps any papers written about the startup 
procedure? Sure, I could read the code, but that would take a while, and 
I'm just finishing up a postdoc project. Time is a little bit limited.
