in reply to Wait for individual sub processes [SOLVED]

I do see this is solved, but I am curious. In terms of overall processing, processing 16 whole files in parallel would have less overhead than splitting each file and processing the chunks. So, why add the complexity of splitting the input files and concatenating the outputs?

    I suspect that the OP doesn't have 16 whole files to process. Just one fricking huge file that takes hours when done sequentially.
