Just think about it logically: if you have a multi-proc machine with good disks then yes, you can see performance improvements by building things in parallel. If you have a single-proc machine with a rinky-dink 5400 RPM drive then no, chances are that you won't see any performance benefit (and mig

Hi Conor, You had said that " was not intended as a performance enhancer, but the ant manual says Parallel tasks have a number of uses in an Ant build file including: * Taking advantage of available processing resources to reduce build time Following example was also cited in the a

Any performance improvement using will depend significantly on what you are doing in parallel and on what hardware resources your platform provides. For example, the tasks could be interacting in ways you don't expect. Maybe these tasks block each other somehow. I have no idea. In the end, wa

Hi Stefan, I tried evaluating the performance of " task" with sequential way doing(without using ) a set of tasks. I find does not help to improve the performance much and infact it sometimes even slower than sequential(as far I had experimented with some examples). I did several examples.
