comment How to program thread allocation on multicore processors?
Sorting is tough to parallelize in this way if the data is distributed randomly. Yes, you can break it up then sort each portion in a different thread but you eventually have to merge all the portions together, anyway. If the threads are sharing data structures, you may also get contention or locking issues. I am not saying sorting cannot benefit from threading but it will not be a linear performance improvement.

comment Is there a difference between arguments and parameters?
The C# language specification agrees with this. For example, section "1.6.6.1 Parameters" states that "The parameters of a method get their actual values from the arguments that are specified when the method is invoked."
