I don't think this can be entirely outside-in, the package needs to say how much ram it needs per-core, to be able to calculate the appropriate degree of parallelism. So, we have to declare a value that then gets calculated against the proposed parallelism. Stefano -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
