I should be careful because this is somewhat distant, but we do have a parallel processing API under development that we'd like to introduce in IDL 8.4. (Note that 8.3 is scheduled for this fall.) Email me if you'd like to be a beta tester; same goes for anyone reading this.

Hi Mark,
I'd love to beta test such a code. The memory leak bug in the IDL_IDLBridge using the /nowait feature is killing me, and love to learn that there is a new/better way to do this explicitly...
