Parallel Extensions CTP - What and Why?
Recently I've downloaded Microsoft Parallel Extensions to the .NET Framework CTP and installed it on my laptop... From extensions documentation and Extensions Developers blog I've got very a picture of new "nice" additional which could improve performance in some cases in .net applications. Now, after installing, playing with it and launching included samples I'm very confused about very important think: it supposed to work faster, that single threaded application? If yes, why I'm getting such strange behavior:
My CPU is worked very hard to calculate those results, and I have pretty strong Dell Precision laptop:
Why it should be better, than multithreaded programming we do for years in .NET?
Is it still very premature extensions behavior, or I just miss something?
