Can you imagine compiling your OS on �hundreds or thousands of cores?

Message passing can be used to:

Distribute scroll reading.
Distribute hashsum verification.
Distribute compilation of scrolls, however only one node per scroll (unless the scroll is specifically written to support MPI*).

Those thing are (as anypony can expect for package management taskes) embarrassingly parallellisable.

* We could do that with the kernel, that takes so long to compile.
