how to use multiple threads with using this library for better speed of reading fastq files ?

[lidd77]

Hi,
In order to improve the speed of reading fastq files and doing some quality control statistics , wanna
use multiple threads to complete some statistics of every four fastq lines from the FASTQ files .
so could you recommend some methods/codes to realize that goal ?
it's very slow to read fastq files in the way line by line .

Best!

Read in big chunks in main thread. Process in memory in parallel.

Probably not worth optimization: let main thread distribute the chunks to the fitting numa nodes.
