Description
This PR implements GNU Parallel-based unzipping for 200,000+ *.cif.gz files in the AlphaFold pipeline.
The Problem:
The current unzipping process is strictly serial, which is extremely slow for large datasets. This limits efficiency and delays downstream processing.
The Fix:
Added a check for GNU Parallel availability.
Automatically detects the number of CPU cores, leaving one core free for I/O-bound tasks and using the remaining cores for parallel unzipping.
Falls back to the existing serial method if GNU Parallel is not installed.
Updated README.md to reflect the new parallelization option and usage instructions.
Fixes: #1075
