  <p>Since CPUs aren't getting faster but are getting more cores, parallel is the way to go for better performance on desktop applications, however I am not sure if the same is true for web based applications.</p>
  
  <p>Web servers already have to spin lots of threads to handle all of the web requests, so would coding your application in a parallel fashion (say for sorting, searching, etc algorithms) help the performance or could it actually hurt it?</p>
  
  <p>I'm particularly using ASP.Net but I think this question is valid for any platform.</p>
