Hi, John,
I haven't had a chance to really play with parallelization yet, but I'll certainly share any tricks or caveats I find once I try to get it going. That may take a while, though, as other things are taking up a lot of my time now.
I note that you've got some other responses about the keypad issue; I've just tried it out on another Debian-based machine, and so long as the NumLock isn't engaged (on this machine, things are sort of backwards), the keypad works great.
Best wishes. I hope you get everything working well for you!
Curtis
