When I started re-writing this website, I wanted to make good use of my multi-core CPU. Generating hundreds of pages using XSL transforms and plenty of pre-processing in C#, there's a lot of parallelism to be had.
I began by using the TPL's data parallelism features: mainly Parallel.ForEach and Parallel.Invoke . These are super easy to use, and made an immediate huge difference.
Then the Visual Studio 11 developer preview came out, and I felt compelled to make use of its new async features. This meant ditching the Parallel methods all together and writing for task parallelism.
