I don't want to be rude, but somebody doesn't have _any_ idea about what this is all about. You don't just generate a 6 man tablebase with 2 pawns in a day or two. This will be a huge file, will require a 64 bit file addressing capability, and a _bunch_ of memory. And a couple of weeks per file I would suspect... KQPKQP is one heck of a database.
