Well, this is another reason why I doubt the results from the Mango
paper.
Parallelization *cannot* provide super-linear speed-up. The
existence of
super-linear speed-up proves that the underlying single-threaded
program is
flawed.
I had the same issue with the paper. It told me that near the root,
Mango settles on a subtree too quickly. Root parallelism was the only
method that lead to a bushy root, and was therefore the only
successful strategy.
