I think it was a recent issue of Byte that had a review of parallel
processing systems (i could have the wrong magazine), and from a laymans point
of view the transputer came out on top due to its ability to expand to more
processors without loosing much processing power, what they said was that the
transputer had only about a 2% overhead due to communication compared to about
30% with other 'non parallel' systems.

If you want to find out more try the byte article, It was byte wasn't it??
somebodys run off with my issue so i can't check.
