JAA (wheel analysis software)

Firstly when I refer to JAA, it just means the online wheel analysis software. I decided to upgrade the server so that the auto analysis is much quicker. Instead of using two connected servers, we will use eight core processors. This is complete overkill for most of what the software does although it should more than halve the time taken for auto analysis. It may even be as much as 5 times faster. The downside is much of the software needs to be rewritten in a different language so multicore threading can be used. This will take a bit over a month. Work has just begun, although there shouldn't be any interruptions with the current server.
