Clump finding does not work in parallel - at least the expensive part
of it (where the gravitational boundedness of the clump is tested) is
definitely not parallel. You might want to experiment with changing
your opening angle to see if it speeds things up enough to justify the
loss in accuracy:

Good luck!
