I thought MCE::Map is faster than usual map. What am I missing? Either I'm reading something wrong or my understanding is messed up.

Hi

How come why do you think MCE::Map supposed to be faster?

This is whatt MCE::Map says

This module provides a parallel map implementation via Many-Core Engine. MCE incurs a small overhead due to passing of data. A fast code block will run faster natively. However, the overhead will likely diminish as the complexity increases for the code. ...

The description continues with code examples with timings like you posted , how speed changes...
