feature request: Ansible script that installs FastQC and changes the "processes" variable in the startup script from 4 to nCPUs #53

so FastQC is a java program mainly, but it includes a start-up perl script.

Look at /usr/local/bin/fastqc for source

That script initializes the memory, threads and CPUs used for the program.

We should customize it to utilize all the available CPUs to speed up demultiplexing

FastQC is quite fast already, so I suspect that the time gained to do this might not be cost effective.
