Re^2: multi threading

This is really the approach I wanted to take, dividing the list and having simultaneous processes handle the smaller lists in parallel, then merging the results at the end. I thought (apparently incorrectly) that threads were the way to do this

I'm extremely new to this kind of programming so if there's any more insight or a good reference you could point me to about using child processes that would be really helpful. With my computing resource I have plentiful cores and memory to be used, but I'm not sure about disk reading capabilities, so my instinct was to find a way to just break it up and use more cores. It sounds like this is what you did just in a better way than I was planning to
