I shoot a lot of HDR pics and I would love to be able to use control option on multiple files at once. I can get three going at a time without a problem but more than three usually freezes LR. Would be very nice if it would do one at a time and query the rest. Im working on a new Macbook Pro so it shouldn't be the computer.

Yes, lounching multiple background operations slow down the computer. HDR needs to read a bunch of files (at least 3) and combines them into a heavy HDR file. It's probably on the i/o side (disk access) where there is a bottleneck ... also on recent hardware.

I agree but is there a way to have LR comple one at a time so I can select multiple HDR tasks at a time. I shoot a lot of real estate and shoot around ten bracketed shots per house. Time is important for me and the agent I'm working for.

If I understrand correctly, when you combine three pic to an HDR it works fine. If you try to merge more, for ex. five, pictures it doesn't work.
It could be a problem with the compatibility of your graphic card or the driver. Try to disable the GPU support.
