ABX already told you recently that that the sequential nature is an
intrinsic property of such simulations - this is nothing specific to
mechsim.  You will hardly find a program - not even for 10000$ - that
distributes such s simulation on a set of networked computers.  

And it's of course perfectly possible to first calculate the whole
simulation and then do the render in Megapov.  How to do this should be
obvious from the mechsim syntax (save_file/load_file).
