[vorbis-dev] Parallelism

Some people asked why would anyone use a parallel
vorbis encoder. It is fast enough already, faster than
real time !

My answer to this is, that there is no such thing as
a too fast program !

So it encodes at 2x realtime, that is it encodes 60 minutes
of audio in 30 minutes. Now wouldn't it be much better if
it only took 30 seconds ?

Anything that takes more than a second is too slow :-)
