I think this warning would be good.

If we hardcode it in the demo system we can easily update this
information for all the demos, but for most of the durrent algorithms
there is no difference between 1 core and 32 cores because the code is
not parallel. I think this warning should be left to the authors
initiative; if they expect significantly better performances on the
IPOL server than on a typical home desktop machine, they can inform
the visitor in the "source code" and "online demo" sections of the
algorithm web page.
