[R] help with parallel processing code

[Max Kuhn]

I'm not sure what you mean by full code or the iteration. This uses
foreach to parallelize the loops over different tuning parameters and
resampled data sets.

The only way I could set to split up the parallelism is if you are
fitting different models to the same data. In that case, you could
launch separate jobs for each model. If the data is large and quickly
read from disk, that might be better than storing it in memory and
sequentially running models in the same script. We have decent sized
machines here, so we launch different jobs per model and then
parallelize each (even if it is using 2-3 cores it helps).

Thanks,

Max
