V1.9-rc3 - faster precompilation with explicit `precompile` call?

Yeah, that’s right, when just doing using, it’s not parallel. Indeed, on the master branch of Julia, this has been changed, and both will be executed in parallel.
So why wasn’t it like that from the start? I don’t know. Perhaps it felt weird to spawn multiple Julia processes from Julia itself to handle precompilation.
