And/or-parallel system clearly suffer of the overheads coming from both and- and or-parallelism. Unfortunately, these overheads may get worse due the combination of the two forms of parallelism.

Adopting a model for exploitation of and/or-parallelism based on the layering approach, we can observe the following effects:
