If, for example, splay trees were shown to cost at most a constant factor more than some lower bound, then this would prove the dynamic optimality conjecture. A lower bound for the comparison tree with parallelism p directly carries over to the comparison pram with p processors. Ok, this is is an information theoretic argument rather than a lower bound on a computational problem, but the idea is the same.
