And also the time it took from one block of 50 to other block of 50 and it was the same time as the longer one.

Of course. How could it be otherwise?

If you draw 10 parallel lines of different lengths:

---------------
------
----------------
----
-
-----------
--------
------
--------------
-----

Is there any way to make the overall width less than the longest line?

Same thing.

As an aside, but entirely relevant; running 50 tasks concurrently on 4 cpus will take longer than running those same 50 tasks; but only 4 at any given time.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
