To accelerate something, probably you want paralellism, not concurrency.
I recomend parmap, but there are some other libraries out there
too for that purpose (in opam: forkwork and probably others I don't know).
But be careful that too fine granularity calculations don't parallelize
well.
For example, if you are analyzing source code, maybe analyzing
distinct files in parallel would be a coarse enough granularity.
