LINE search takes much longer compared to other steps

Hi Shujun,

This is not a bug report, but a question. I've noticed that when I run EDTA on Drosophila genome, it takes an extraordinary amount of time when searching for LINEs. Drosophila genome is populated mostly by LTRs but it takes 5-10 times more time for EDTA to look for LINEs. Is there a way to improve the speed of this step? If it's a pure repeatmasker/repeatmodeller or blast, maybe it could've been done in parallel? I can't understand how running Repeatmodeller on 150 Mb genome with 16 cores in parallel could take 10 hours...

Cheers, Artem
