Hi,

I have a large file of some patterns and need to grep & find other associated 
things for every pattern in another large file.
So i did some thing like this -
cat ./bigfilepat.sort |parallel -j +17 'grep {} ./bigfilematch.txt 
|/home/username/processer.pl'
processor.pl does some parse/format & echo to stdout thing only.

But at anytime when I do a ps aux |grep parallel |grep bigfile I see max 4/5 & 
min 1 programs running only.Why is this so ? And also it take long long time to 
complete.

What is the best way to solve this problem ? Thanks in advance.

Ciao.
