On the same track, if sage is built from source on Richard's eight-CPU machine, will it be able to take advantage of the multiple processor cores? If I remember correctly, in a previous thread here a few months ago, the answer was negative. If so, why? Sage is based on Python and Python's mpi4py package is available as an optional install on Sage. So, if Sage cannot take advantage of parallelism, why have an mpi4py package?
By the way, I tried installing mpi4py on my 64-bit Ubuntu karmic (9.10, with stock kernel), and I got a bunch of errors.
