[Radiance-general] running rtrace in parallel?

You might want to take a look at Ilya's multithreaded / multiprocessor
scripts if you're running on a Linux/Unix/OSX system. There's a
multithreaded rpict and rtrace, called rpictmt and rtracemt. The
scripts split a task into smaller chunks, one per CPU core, then
stitch everything (pictures or points) back together.
