4/// Demonstrate how to activate and use the implicit parallelisation of TTree::GetEntry.
5/// Such parallelisation creates one task per top-level branch of the tree being read.
6/// In this example, most of the branches are floating point numbers, which are very fast to read.
7/// This parallelisation can be used, though, on bigger trees with many (complex) branches, which
8/// are more likely to benefit from speedup gains.
