Hi all,
Just for the record, this is the link to the blog post:
http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/parallel-multicore-processing-with-r-on-windows/

You can run work in parallel in multiple processors.  Although it is only
worthwhile when each "task" takes a long time to run (I give an example to
that on the post).

Best,
Tal
