[GRASS-user] Speeding Up Reprojection of Large Raster Maps

   I've a couple of very large DEMs; approximately 40G cells each. I am
reprojecting them to the project's location, but they take ~10 hours to
complete. One's running on my desktop (dual-core AMD II X2 CPU with 4G RAM),
the other's running on my Dell Latitude E5410 (quad-core Intel i7 with 8G
RAM). Grass-6.5svn is compiled with openmp on both machines.

   Is there any way to make use of the multiple cores and (comparatively)
large amounts of memory to speed up the reprojection process? I know that
I'll have the same issue with other projects so, while I can certainly
continue to run other applications and processes while these slowly grind
away, I'd like to learn if I can shorten the required times.
