... and as said before, helps usually nothing. As Daniel's examples has
shown MT programming requires deep knowledge about the architecture,
adding a simple parallel keyword usually calls only for trouble because
of race conditions, memory trashing etc. Exploiting the benefits of an
SMP system is _really_ hard and cannot solved easily by the primitive
means of OpenMP.
