Probably projects needing low latency are the ones that will benefit the
most. Although I was surprised by the results even with single-threaded
applications when I did my performance tests back in the days, which got
a considerable performance boost in multi-cores, as suddenly you
application becomes automatically parallelized (now your program can run
in parallel with the collector while before they were serialized).

Anyway, we'd love to hear about any numbers people can collect :-)
