Hi

Reading the docs it seems that the parallel methods (on the same node) all 
use process to process communication over TCP rather than threads. Correct 
me if I'm wrong here. It seems to be the same sort of approach as Python 
multiprocessing (due to its single threaded runtime). This approach 
requires a data copy ( 2 actually) and theoretically puts a high overhead 
on pipeline type processing because of the data copy, transmission time and 
consequent memory churn. Am I reading this correctly?

Thanks
