Just to add that JinjaThreads runs quite happily in a relatively small 
amount of memory with the latest SVN version of Poly/ML.  6-8 Gbytes are 
fine.  Even in 32-bit mode it takes around 33 minutes.

I'm looking towards releasing this version of Poly/ML in the next few 
months and I would like to give it as much testing as possible.  I'd 
encourage people to try it out and let me know particularly if there are 
bugs or if things run significantly slower than before.
