I am trying to speed up export of a region to stl format, and I noticed in
g-stl.c that there is a hard-coded ncpu=1 [1]. Does changing this to 2 or
4 speed up the stl conversion (if there are 2 or 4 cores available)?
It looks like there is a command line option to set ncpu [2], but lower
down in the code it is hard-coded to 1 [3].

[2] http://brlcad.org/xref/source/src/conv/stl/g-stl.c#L357
[3] http://brlcad.org/xref/source/src/conv/stl/g-stl.c#L458
I did not find anything in the documentation about what (if any) the effect
of the P option was for this utility. Thanks for any helpful hints or
pointers.
