CPUs Parlallelization available?

[rolivella]

Hi all, is there a way to use more CPUs while running the TRFP? Or are you planning to add this option?

Thanks!

Hi @rolivella,
that is an long lasting issue, see #23 and #95
In short, the bottleneck is writing the mzML file (and index); this process essentially has to be single-threaded. Multithreaded processing of a single file is not on the list for any near future. It is possible, however, to run several instances of TRFP working on different files (for example, to process a folder faster). I have old and ugly python script that I can share.

Ah yes, it makes sense. Thanks for the python script but I'm developping a single-file pipeline so I don't need it yet. I'm trying to optimize every single step but I see that, at least, regarding the TRFP I can't do nothing (or little) more.
