Actually, it's just "nproc=4" without the "--".

You can use multiple CPUs for the FFTs in phenix.refine if you compile  
from source with OpenMP support (add "--openmp" to the arguments when  
running the install script; this requires GCC 4.2 or better, or  
Intel's compiler, and perhaps others).  I think it will automatically  
use as many CPUs as possible.  It's probably not going to help much,  
though.
