+### Commit afd0331b - Some notes on scaling problems
+
+After tweaking individual values and parameters we can still not find
+the main cause for our slowdown on multiple processors.
+We also use intel's vtune amplifier to measure performance on our run
+and find that we always spend way too much time 'waiting for work',
+e.g. in the backoff mechanism when enabled or in the locks for stealing
+work when backoff is disabled. This leads us to believe that our problems
+might be connected to some issue with work distribution on the FFT case,
+as the unbalanced tree search (with a lot 'local' work) performs good.
+
+To get more data in we add benchmarks on matrix multiplication implemented
+in two fashions: once with a 'native' array stealing task and once with
+a fork-join task. Both implementations use the same minimum array
+sub-size of 4 elements and we can hopefully see if they have any
+performance differences.
