Does parfor inside lsqnonlin with UseParallel=True work properly?

Hello,
I'm solving a system of 150 nonlinear equations using lsqnonlin. The system is an outcome of a bulky (parallelized) optimization, which involves large vectors. (Large = 1 mil. elements) I'm wondering if my parfor loops in the optimization work properly with -UseParallel- enabled lsqnonlin.
I know parfor cannot be nested in another parallel structure. According to the lsqnonlin documentation, -UseParallel- governs the gradient calculation, and turning it on does not mean the solver plays with multiple guesses simultaneously, as multistart does. I guess then my parfor should work well, but not sure. I can play with a toy code of course, but I want to get a clear-cut answer.
Thanks!

With that option the function will be invoked with different parameters in order to estimate the gradient. I would expect that for N parameters either N or N+1 function calls would be made within a parfor or similar. If the function uses parfor then the function's parfor will be done in serial.

If your function use parfor internally then you should NOT set UseParallel to true.
