Hello, I have a quick question about this work -- is there an expectation of how quicker parallel apply is, compared to our normal (serial) apply, for average cases? Are we talking 20% faster, 2x faster, 10x faster?
(When I say average, I mean not considering fringe cases where the workload is such that very little paralelization can be done, and also those where you have a contrived case with one thousand parallel processes each making progress separately to the point where you get ridiculously high numbers. I mean something that can occur in realistic workloads.) My point is that if it's 20% faster, it's nice. But if it's, say, 4x faster, then it's probably groundbreaking to the point that it may enable new use cases not currently possible. Thoughts, pointers?
