I think doing early Spad compilation in parallel is hopeless. Early
compilation is done is serial way because we need to get information
into symbol tables. Trying to make symbol tables to work in parallel
is IMO more tricky than making them faster as serial thing. In
principle there could be some gain from parallel compilation of
generated Lisp.
