Thanks for your interest in FastBit.  There are a few different 
possibilities of parallelizing FastBit.  Unfortunately, we don't have 
any of them in place yet.  A trivial approach that might be useful for 
some tasks is to split your input data into multiple data partitions 
(i.e., splitting them into multiple directories).
