#### Commit 52fcb51f - Add basic random stealing
Slight improvement, needs further measurement after removing more important bottlenecks.
+Below are three individual measurements of the difference.
+Overall the trend (sum of all numbers/last number),
+go down (98.7%, 96.9% and 100.6%), but with the one measurement
+above 100% we think the improvements are minor.

Big improvements of about 6% in our test. This seems like a little,
but 6% from the scheduler is a lot, as the 'main work' is the tasks
itself, not the scheduler.

+This change unsurprisingly yields the biggest improvement yet.

+#### Commit b9bb90a4 - Try to figure out the 'high thread bottleneck'
+
+We are currently seeing good performance on low core counts
+(up to 1/2 of the machines cores), but after that performance
+plumishes:

+Bana-Pi Best-Case:

+Bana-Pi Average-Case:

+Laptop Best-Case:

+Laptop Average-Case:

+As we can see, in average the performance of PLS starts getting
+way worse than TBB and EMBB after 4 cores. We suspect this is due
+to contemption, but could not resolve it with any combination
+of `tas_spinlock` vs `ttas_spinlock` and `lock` vs `try_lock`.
+
+This issue clearly needs further investigation.
