[R] parallel computation in plyr 1.7

Additional question: the plyr package mentions that parallel computation can
be set up using the parallel computing backend from 'foreach'.

Is this limited to executing the following two lines on a UNIX machine 
(source  
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/doMC/.../gettingstartedMC.pdf
gettingStartedDoMC.txt ):
library(doMC)
registerDoMC()

Or should anything else be done too?

Thanks for help,

Adi
