I don't think xargs is ever parallel, but GNU parallel is supposed to
be a parallel tool with options and usage similar to those/that of
xargs:
http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

xargs' main advantages are:
1) Simpler quoting (correctness), especially if you use (GNU) "find
-print0" with "xargs -0"
2) Far fewer exec's, which usually means much better performance
