I plan to apply to the Google Summer of Code, to work on the parallelization of Cabal Install.  As stated in some comments, this project may be too small for three months, so I included some other things in my proposal.  The first is to work on making GHC parallel while building different modules.

I'm sure everyone is eager to have a parallel GHC and parallel Cabal. I am. Waiting for 67 modules to build in order every time I change my types file is not fun.

You should parallelize yourself instead; while one thread is stuck waiting for GHC or Cabal, the other ones can have fun.
