Agreed. My point being that a blocked thread achieve nothing, except parallelism, i.e. other threads can be processed.
To be more specific, if you compute factorial(51354) in a thread, it will still require approx. the same amount of CPU clocks than in a main thread (probably slightly more due to the scheduler overhead).
