Max Parallelism on Cube Processing
The default behavior for processing cubes is to let the server determine how much parallelism to use. Let's face it, the server must've not learned to play nice with others as a kid; as such, it doesn't always make the best decisions. But fear not, you can help it along.
When processing a cube, click on "Change Settings..."
Now change the "Maximum parallel tasks" to 1, 2, or whatever is appropriate for your environment:
That's all there is to it. Happy cube processing!

- @gregsohl yeah, that would be a nice feature. Did you find any products that do support field-level dependencies?
- @MladenPrajdic @atlantis_uk Thanks, Mladen, I'll be sure to check that out. :)
- I'm really lovin' @RedGate's #SQL Dependency Tracker. I can see it saving me a *lot* of time once I figure out what the heck I'm doing :)

To make it the default option you can change it trough Management Studio, after connecting to an instance of Analysis services > Right-click on it > Options. Mark ‘show advanced options’ and you’ll see a lot more options. To change parallelism level change this one OLAP/LazyProcessing/MaxObjectsInParallel (I think, I’m not completely sure).
