@dzenanz I suspect this side effect has to do with the recent threading changes. It appears that I can not longer control the global default number of threads with the current ITK master:
Blockquote
In [1]: import SimpleITK as sitk
In [2]: sitk.ProcessObject_GetGlobalDefaultNumberOfThreads()
Out[2]: 88
In [3]: sitk.ProcessObject_SetGlobalDefaultNumberOfThreads(10)
In [4]: sitk.ProcessObject_GetGlobalDefaultNumberOfThreads()
Out[4]: 88
I notices this with the following SimpleITK test failure:
Blockquote

Where SimpleITK’s GoblalDefaultNumberOfThreads methods for the filters, map to the appropriate MultiThreader methods.
