Secondly it looks as if this addresses only a small part of a general problem [1], also in a very naive and inefficient way, while also opening a hole can of worms (should real parallel execution for TCG be ever implemented) [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg40000.html > > Signed-off-by: Jonathan A.
