Maybe I could add a --workdir option to the script that would use a

    For genomes project with lots (6) of tracks, it seems to do a LOT of
    small (re)writes. using dev/shm, it is like 20 hours of it. i worry
    about I/O

    May i suggest that a tmp dir (like shm i used) is used while
    building it
    and then the results tranferred to /names?
