    You can't fork/thread any code safely without putting some thought into it. Multiple processes handling the same data always requires some synchronization. What exactly do you want to achieve?

      eventually i'd put the code on cluster and see how it runs. the file sizes i'm dealing with are >16Gb which is more than 8Gb on my system.

      thanks, appreciate the help.
