For the first version I needed 400-500GB RAM, so that wouldn't be overkill. The 
threads however seem pretty much useless, indeed.

Hoiweveriwever, as the latter version seems so much more memory efficient, I am 
wondering why it's not implemented as the default in form of a function call 
with the same prominence in the documentation. Would love to hear Tiago or 
anyone else chime in on this. What's the advantage of the boiler-plate 
minimize_nested_blockmodel? Is there any except less lines of code?

Cheers,

Felix
