So my application is a HUGE number cruncher.  But since it is running on one
thread, the deployed version still takes about an hour to process my data. 
If at all possible, I would like to get this down to about 15 minutes so I
could run it several times a day.  My computer has two XEON Quad Cores and
almost 24GB of RAM, so I am not worried about overworking my machine.
Currently, my main application is running at about 150MB.

So I am interested in speeding up my application using Workers. I have never
tried using Workers to increase speed, so I wanted to ask people with
experience with Workers if you think it is worth the effort.  By splitting
the processing load to four threads, do you think I could whittle the
processing time down to 15 minutes, or is there a point at which adding more
threads just increases overhead, and therefore you don't gain much? Or is it
hugely advantageous?
