If you're saying that people often write multithreaded programs, then I have to disagree. In my experience, it's rare, and most programmers actively avoid them.
Plural of anedocte is not data. In genral, not taking multithreading seriously now is likely to be a problem in the upcoming years.
Then it means you did somethign wrong or the code doesn't lend itself to trivial multithreading ...
Sorry for the tone of that, I wasn't implying anything wrong with yourself, just that this kind of result (multithreaded version being slower) is usually because soemthing don't lend itself to be multithreaded. Do you have this MT code somewhere still, i may have a look if needed.
