5.10. Phil Winstanley

I talked to Phil Winstanley (ASP.NET MVP and author) about his experience of the parallel enhancements in .NET 4.
"Working on a very heavy IO (disk and network) project (zero configuration hosted build server), we parallelized the process in a matter of minutes, changing a foreach to a Parallel.ForEach(), giving us a performance increase that reduced the time taken to execute from 1 minute, 30 seconds down to 14 seconds. We were gobsmacked."
