> faster than the slowest non-parallelizable path Rather, than the slowest non-parallelized path. Ultimately you may reach maximum speed on that path but the assumptions that we are close to it often turn out to be poorly considered, or considered before 8 other engineers added bug fixes and features to that code. From a performance standpoint you need to challenge all of those assumptions. Re-ask all of those questions. Why is this part single threaded? Does the whole thing need to be single threaded? What about in the middle here? Can we rearrange this work? Maybe by adding an intermediate state?
