I think the point is that until the previous paragraphs have been 
processed, you can't finalize the current paragraph.  It may have 
different margins or be on a page break, etc. all dependent on previous 
document code.

Like many programs, I expect there would be ways to parallelize even 
word processor code if it is considered.  Some have said parallel code 
needs to be done at a high level, but I think it would be better done on 
the details.  But then I am thinking of low level code such as would be 
run on the GA144, not parallel code run on the x86 megalith.
