Culling overlap would be an interesting exercise.

It's an interesting idea, but right now I don't quite have the hardware to try doing it.

Heh. Tried this out and pegged my CPU for a long time without getting even one meta out. 3400+ alleles is a _lot_.

I _definitely_ don't have the oomph to do this... :)

It's CPU bound; it only requires about 25MB memory per process, and disk space is negligible. This might be really amenable to distributed processing.

  We have to realize that people who run the government can and do
  change. Our society and laws must assume that bad people -
  criminals even - will run the government, at least part of the
  time.                                               -- John Gilmore
