Dan was talking on Telegram about 2 parts of blockchain interaction. One part had to be set up serially, and then the other part could be processed in parallel with other similar processes. I wish I remembered it better than that! I think the bottom line is that EOS provides the ability to use multi core processing in parallel while lowering the amount of data that has to be stored in RAM. That's what I got from my reading, anyway! :-)
