[ensembl-dev] core api number of parallel process

[Paul Flicek]

Sanger is supposed to be setting up an internal mirror of the Ensembl databases to support internal and parallel work and lighten the load on our public instances. I am not sure of the current stage of this work. You may want to enquire about how this is progressing. 

The EBI also has an internal Ensembl mirror.
