I think Mathematica uses multiple cores through the OpenMP API. So isn't
it necessary to set the environment variable OMP_NUM_THREADS
appropriately?

Hello,

Here is a link with some details:

http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/newin52/multicore.html

I suspect it is hard to parallelise ordinary code - even functional code
- because I can't imagine the kernel can run on more than one thread!
