numpy is only as parallel as the underlying BLAS/LAPACK library that
it uses is. So if you're using Cygwin's openblas then you're in
decent shape. But I don't think cv_adams spends much time (if any?)
in BLAS/LAPACK dense linear algebra functions, I think it's mostly
dominated by function evaluation time.
