Given the default configuration, it is usually better to break your work down into multiple independent jobs.  For example, if you are processing 10,000 images, instead of a single Matlab job that processes them, perhaps you could have 10,000 jobs that each process 1 image.  Condor is then able to schedule your jobs across multiple computers or at least multiple cores on a single computer, giving you the speed benefits of parallelism.
 
+To ensure that Matlab only uses one core, put this in your Matlab script:
+
+{code}
+lastN = maxNumCompThreads(1);
+{endcode}
+
+If you're using the Matlab Compiler, but want to use multiple threads when doing development, you could use something like this to limit Matlab to one thread only for compiled versions:
+
+{code}
+if isdeployed
+    lastN = maxNumCompThreads(1);
+end
+{endcode}
+
+*TODO*: Is the lastN necessary?

 Many other sites are using Matlab under Condor.  Here are links to the documentation from just a few.
