Optimisation of Linda programs

We have been looking at how optimisation of programs that use Linda primitives can effect the execution time. With a sequentail program it is safe to say that optimisation will never increase the execution time. However, we have discovered that this statement does not hold for Linda programs.

We are investigating this phenomenen and formaulating the circustances under which it may/can occur. We are particularly interested in image processing algorithms that when implemented are susceptible to this.
