OpenMP is terrible. While you can argue whether introducing pragmas as control structure is a good idea or not, the performance issues with high load(>80% total cpu) and the caveats(two OpenMP versions in same app, multiple threads running OpenMP paralleled code & etc) are just not worth it. TBB[0] is much better option(especially with C++11, where you can use lambdas to warp your to-be-paralleled-code and don't have to put it elsewhere), and you get all sort of goodies with it(e.g. thread-safe-containers).
