Increasing batch run throughput

Hint: I have noticed that running a single instance of the Conversion validation runs on a Windows box results in massive under-utilisation of CPU, RAM and I/O. My recommendation is that all runs of these jobs be run in threaded mode (I tend to start with 2 threads per CPU and assess the performance from that point). Some work has been done on rewriting the batch submission scripts for both Unix and Windows to support easier multi-thread submission and the auto-processing of batch parameters. Let me know if you would like more info.
