Multiple threads on MacPro

Hi,

I'm wondering what is the best way is to take advantage of the  
multiple CPUs on a MacPro?  For example, does someone have  
suggestions on how to setup and use parApply functions, in the snow  
package, on a multi-core Mac?

I don't know if it's the best, but lately I like using the foreach  
package with the multicore backend
