A difficulty: not enough significantly multi-core CPUs in front of
consumers yet.  Who cares if you've only got 2..4 cores?  It's not
worth rearranging everything for such a low number of cores, you can
use coarser techniques just fine.  But eventually we'll have a lot of
cores and then the payoff of FP will be there.
