Gordon,
Yes, parallel means you can run tasks at the same time.
Let's say you have a task you want to run at 1AM and another 2AM. But what if the 1AM task takes four hours? Without running the tasks in parallel, your 2AM job would not start until 5AM.
Where you would not want a task running in parallel is when its execution is dependent on the results of a pervious task. For example, first you must rotate your logs before you generate reports on them.
