Description
Hi everyone!
Thanks a ton for implementing this and all associated packages! I use this package wrapped into Optim.jl---by selecting finite difference---and would appreciate improved performance, because who doesn't. So I am wondering if there are any plans to parallelize this code? FD should be embarrassingly parallel, shouldn't it? I would be willing to help, but at this point chances are I would break the code...
Thanks a bunch!
