parallel parsing #56

From: Maarten van Iterson mviterson@gmail.com

Are there any plans to support reading idats-files in parallel using the BiocParallel functionality? For example, read.450k.exp could easily be parallelized and for the reduce step 'combine' from Biobase can be used.

No. But it is easy to add support across multiple cores using mclapply. And if you wish to speed it up by running different computers, you can always combine different RGChannelSet's using combine(). So your request will be partly addressed.
