Thank you for the article Elliott!
I think you will find this related information interesting. CozyRoc has recently released a new third-party commercial task called Parallel Loop Task. What this task allows is execution of multiple "Foreach Loop Container" iterations in parallel. The setup is very simple:
1. You point to existing loop container that you want executed in parallel.
2. You select how many concurrent threads you want to use for the loop execution.
In tests, a CPU intensive sequential process when executed in parallel on 4-core machine was executed 3 times faster compared to the sequential.
We believe this new task is very powerful tool that can help you use your computer resources in the most efficient way.
