Worth making note of is Joe Cheng's solution[1] to Wide Finder in LINQ  
which higlights how one could use PLINQ to gain support for parallel  
processing by "(in the code above, simply change bfrom line in datab to  
bfrom line in data.AsParallel()b)".  In short, the method of using a  
single attribute to specify the number of threads to use I believe makes a  
lot of sense, and is similar to the approach they plan to use in PLINQ  
if/when it ships.

NOTE: To those unaware, LINQ and XQuery are eerily similar in both syntax  
and functionality.  Mapping the LINQ solution to XQuery would be a piece  
of cake, and then using the XQuery code as the basis for writing it  
correctly using templates would result in something similar to Dimitre's  
solution.

Or you could just use Dimitre's solution from the get go. ;-)
