LazySMP is mad easy to implement and makes your engine significantly stronger.

I suspect LazySMP is the "free-market" solution to parallel search. By this I mean, people may think they will be able to organize disparate agents to be more efficient, but in the end the simple exchange of information via the hash will ensure close to optimum search.
