That is quite an old version. You should upgrade to the newest version:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/?C=M;O=D

Remember, 'parallel' is just one Perl script, so an upgrade could be as
simple as downloading the tar-ball and replace that one file on your system.

> parallel -a commands --load 200% --noswap {}
