I have used <parallel> to speed up a bunch of database server operations. The work was really being done remotely and the client was just waiting for status.

Don't expect much from <parallel> on a single CPU PC... Like Conor already told you, it enables use cases impossible to do without parallel. I used <parallel> only once as an experiment to do several independent <get>, and only got incremental speed-up (30% I think), but I was hitting the same HTTP server for all <get>s, so the bottleneck might have been that server. Don't use <parallel> if you don't see any speedup. --DD > Apart from <cc>, I have also experiment-ed using concat tasks, where > there will be significant file i/o. Even then <parallel> is not at par > with sequential. Any clarifications will be highly helpful. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
