As an example, if your <tt>seq.fa</tt> file is <tt>3MB</tt>, you could read block of <tt>1MB</tt> and GNU Parallel will create 3 jobs, thus using 3 cores. If we would have requested 10 cores in our task, we would be wasting 7 cores. Therefore, '''the block size is important'''. We can also let GNU Parallel decide, as done below.
