Are all post-processing function only using single CPU core?

Hi all,
I'm doing 3D eigenvalue simulations. I noticed that I can used pardiso direct solver to take advantage of multi-core CPUs.
However, when I went to the point of post-processing, e.g. exporting volume integral for all eigenmodes, the integration is only running on a single CPU-core. It's very slow as a single sequential thread. I'm Considering such process could be easily parallelized?
Is it possible that all post-processing can be updated with multiple-thread calculations?

Post-processing functions vary in their use of parallelism. I've observed parallel post-processing with many cores, as well as many cases where only one core is utilized. Let's all encourage Comsol to parallelize as many post-processing functions as possible.
