When in doubt, check the tissue and surface segmentations

ultimately celebrations seem to be in order...

Subject: [Freesurfer] Version 5.3 recon-all run time

Hi FSers,

I have an Ubuntu machine (14.04 LTS) with a quad-core i7 4770k/32gb RAM and 
recon-all is taking me approximately 6 hours per subject without using openmp 
(haven't tried this yet). According to the terminal, it finishes without errors.
I've read (e.g., https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FsQuizAnswers) and 
heard that recon-all should take 20-24 hours per participant to complete. So, 
should I be celebrating my 6 hour run time or should I be very suspicious of it?

Also, how does freesurfer go with hyper threaded CPUs? (as is the case with the 
4770k; 4 cores, 8 threads). I've read that you should restrict parallel 
processing to one subject per core. Can I take advantage of the hyper threading 
and run 8 subjects simultaneously or should I be more conservative and only run 
4?

Cheers,
Linden
