We should keep the context of this question in mind when answering. If P1, P2, P3 and P4 represented different machines, 'Blocked Assignment' would do significantly better than 'Interleaved Assignment' since the 'Interleaved Assignment' would require a lot of communication between these machines (which would be expensive). On the other hand, if P1, P2, P3 and P4 represented different threads on a single machine, the interleaved assignment would probably do better (not a 100 % sure about this) due to shared data.
