Abstract
With the computer hardware currently on the market and the powerful configurations you can buy for an acceptable price, you can have in your hands a robust machine that is able to execute millions of calculations per second. Unfortunately, having this kind of powerful calculator doesn’t make an application faster by default, nor does it make an application’s user interface faster or more responsive. If you plan to design an application to be responsive and to execute tons of operations in parallel, you need to write code that is able to do that instead of relying on expensive hardware.
