Yep, just for mirabait.

Interesting what a single post can do. In short, the next release of MIRA will
have a revamped mirabait, with a 2^31bp limit in sequence lengths, but which
also will be quite a deal faster.

30kb limit in sequences? Oooops, I was using old routines. Changing to new ones
drops the limit and gives instant 25% boost in baiting speed.
Hmmm, loading takes quite long? A few tweaks here and there doubles the loading
speed.

These two steps alone reduce runtime by 40%.

But then … why is the baiting step not multithreaded? Oh wait, a simple version
is trivial to implement.

Result: with 4 cores, the new version is now 3x faster than the old one. Yay.
