A superficial examination of the map revealed no noticeable differences or problems compared to maps compiled without the parallel code. I'll also test later on with Mac OS.
I can also confirm that the patch appears to work correctly on Mac OS X. I tested with this patch and with the "quick distance calculation v1" patch also applied. On a 2 GB, 2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo machine, a combined map of France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy took about 45 minutes to compile. Without these patches, it took about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Sorry, I didn't test the patches separately, so I don't have data on the individual performance improvements. At any rate, with superficial testing, both patches seem to be stable. Thanks! Cheers.
