The par_cond test is to see if the parallel region is executed with
one thread (if false)
or more than one thread (if true).   The parallel region will be
executed in either case.

If the test is moved to the user code then the user code needs to have
all of the
code to call the the outlined code.  Leads to code bloat.  Little
performance gain.
