Hrm... parallel programming does not scale linearly with the number of
processes. There is some added complexity to split jobs up and
reassemble them. It's hard to generalise in a single email. Wikipedia is
a good resource[1] However, parallel processing can perform much better
than a single CPU if three broad features exist with the data:
>
>  - massive amounts of data are required to be processed
>  - the job can be split into many smaller jobs
>  - shared state is not required between the smaller jobs

what do you call shared state ?? sorry  lack of knowledge here...
