Firstly thanks for such a wonderful tool.
I’ve got over 100000 genome waiting for classification and I noticed that the FastANI step did NOT use as many cores/threads as I set in the command (–cpus 34), which made the process extremely slow. I use FastANI alone as well and am sure it supports multi-threading, so I’m wondering if I miss something here that this step was only processed by 1 thread.
Many thanks.

Hello, this will be resolved in the next release (1.4.0). For more information please see here.
