The methods provided by the ParallelIterator trait are nearly the same as the ones provided by Iterator, so in virtually all cases where you notice an iterator operation taking too long and bottlenecking you, you can simply replace .iter() with .par_iter()[10]. Similarly, for moving iterators, you can use .into_par_iter() instead of .into_iter().

rayon handles all the tedious work for you, as it automatically distributes the work evenly between all of your available cores.
