If you served me two pound cakes at the same time, I would say things were improved. However, it wouldn't be very efficient as I would still only eat them serially instead of in parallel
Now I'm considering whether I'd rather have two pound cakes, or one big one...
One normal-size, versus 10 miniature ones?
Needs research (:
Depending on how you look at it, 10 is just a second one.
