explicit option parallel_print to downgrade parallel scheduling, which

In principle this is an instance of the "too many options" syndrome, but

Moreover, according to the "waterbed-syndrome" in its positive sense, it 
means that options added here inevitably cause other old/obsolete options 
to be removed faster.
