in thread use dual-core or quad-core

blast is optimized to hell. If you say you are faster in perl under some circumstances, you are doing something that is not comparable ;)

Honestly, it makes not much sense to use perl for huge scientific calculations and even less trying it on multiple CPUs. In C (even without OpenMP), you are magnitudes (much more than 2,4,8 times) faster.

Here are a lot of bioinformatic guys, what do you want to do?

    i'm not aligning, i'm not using the heuristics behind finding matches between two sequences. only the calculation after scoring is interesting to me. i gave the example , because this was the only program i could use to see differences between parallel and linear computing
