I have a mac pro, and with 4 cores, and parallels seems to only use ONE core, and it still is faster than my old 3ghz P4 laptop. And leaves tons of power for all else. I had a mac book first, and it had great power, but only 2 gigs of ram. I have 6 gigs in the mac pro, and boy does that make a difference.

I got a brand new MacBook Pro (the one they just release with Core 2 Duo) and have Parallels/Windows XP on it (still installing stuff, but Witango's on). It is AMAZINGLY fast to run Windows in a window. I am totally blown away, and now have IIS, Apache, Witango (dev and server) as well as SQL Server 2005 running on it already.
I've never really loved working in the dev studio on the Mac when compared with Windows (I hope I hope I hope that this will change with the next Java-based studio), but now it's a non-issue as I'm currently working in Apple Mail and have Windows open in the background so I can finally do everything on one machine and periodically clone the Windows virtual machine so I have an easier roll-back when software inevitably goes hinky.
Apple's really done an amazing job with the hardware, and Parallels is just fantastic. I hope Apple just buys them and builds it into 10.5.
Sorry - just had to post this, and figured it was good to let people know how stuff's working in new environments.
