What is Litecoin?
Litecoin is the result of some of us who joined together on IRC in an effort to create a real alternative currency similar to Bitcoin. We wanted to make a coin that is silver to Bitcoin's gold.
Litecoin manages to maintain the unique traits and attributes of Bitcoin, while adding to the mixture CPU-specific mining and a 2.5 minute block rate. This means that Litecoin doesn't have to compete for the used up computational cycles of your graphics card if you're already mining Bitcoins, but can work independently on your processor.
We'd like everyone to get their chance at being an "early adopter", so we've preannounced Litecoin several days ahead of launch day for you to be able to prepare your mining setup on our Testnet. There have also been no more than two blocks mined ahead of release; the genesis block followed by a block to verify it.

Update:
-LTC is mainly mined with GPUS (Reaper was first GPU miner, now even cgMiner supports LTC mining with GPU)
-CPU mining isnt profitable if you pay for electricity.
-LTC suffers cause BTC miners jump in to mine with their rigs when difficulty is low and leave LTC when it rises.
-These days biggest pools gets DDOS time to time. Remember P2Ppools can secure LTC-network :D
