As stated by others, and even myself,
it is not possible to just "automagically"
improve the execution speed of a single
function - let alone an application.

Your problem must be capable of being divided up
into work units that can be parallelized. If this is not
possible, multiple cores (no matter how many you have)
-will not- help you.
