Thank you for the answer. I will give it a try.
I wasn't sure if using a CAS multiplier will run the following 
annotators for the different CASes in different threads - or is it the 
flow controller which has to do the treading (?) - I will dig a bit 
deeper into the API to find out how this works.
Thanks again.
