Re:Command-line Tools can be 235x Faster than a Hadoop Clust... by Groxx on Thursday May 24, 2018 @03:29AM (#17141817)
xargs is one of my favorites, it's so easy to split something apart to speed it up by a few multiples.

gotta SSH into 100 machines and ask them all a simple question? xargs will trivially speed that up by at least 10x, if not better, just by parallelizing the SSH handshakes.
