The single most common Mathematica operation I use is Map (and variations of it, such as Table)...I don't see why it couldn't be made to run concurrently. Divide the elements of the list to be operated on and spread among available processors, or something like that. I figure there would be an impressive speed up of my programs, if this could be done...
