Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm still a bit puzzled. Would mert-moses really 
send several jobs to the multi-threaded moses when running mert? 
Shouldn't there be something in the script that creates several requests 
simultaneously and collects the results when decoding is done?  But 
maybe I misunderstand something here.
Well, thanks again,

Jörg
