Sure, maybe the reason. Note that multiple concurrent processes intensively accessing one resource (say memory or disk) may give worse performance than sequential runs (be it because of memory page switches, suboptimal cache usages etc). Seemingly this is not the case for compilation (or just lyx compilation)... A/
