C9 Bytes: Parallel LINQ and Amazing Photo Colorization using Parallel Fx with Stephen Toub

Stephen Toub shows off two demos, one using the AsParallel statement to dramatically decrease LINQ query times and the second demo is a simple image editing application that enables you to add dynamic coloring/black and white to a photo, similar to effects in movies like Pleasantville or Sin City.

As this is a CPU-intensive operation, you can see how changing a for loop to a Parallel.For loop dramatically improves the application's performance.
