Each tool simply has its place and usage ;-) , so does OpenMP . That does not mean that it is the magic wand for solving MT, it is just another tool that we can use.
That is my POV, as well.
OpenMP seems to be a relatively quite easy "add-on" for compiler makers, so the GCC people decided to tightly implement it. It seems helpful with a number of common tasks.
If you want to have _really_ good optimization, have to solve a a really complex or non-standard problem, you of course are lost with OpenMP and need to use more appropriate methods. Supposedly will not use FPC here but a more low-level programming language (like GCC without OpneMP support).
