Compared to `np.power(x, 1./3.)` it is well defined for negative real floats
and a bit faster.
+numpy.distutils now allows parallel compilation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+By passing `--jobs=n` or `-j n` to `setup.py build` the compilation of
+extensions is now performed in `n` parallel processes.
+The parallelization is limited to files within one extension so projects using
+Cython will not profit because it builds extensions from single files.
