This you have to install, xargs is everywhere. Also with the -P flag you can parallelize the most common cases.

  I agree on the install part, but xargs -P still run on the same host and I was addressing the multiple hosts feature of parallel.

  Personally I like parallel better because of the `--bar` option and `{}`, `{.}`, `{/}` and `{/.}`. And I usually just use it with `-P 1` anyway.
